With Summer upon us, along with the drier air, hot wind and pollen, it’s no fun for the one in four people who suffer from Dry Eye Syndrome.
But now there’s hope for irritated individuals; an innovative new dry eye spray called tearsagain® has come to the rescue.
Dry eye causes discomfort with every blink because the eye lacks lubrication. Symptoms include scratchy, itchy eyes with a gritty sensation, which only worsens with heat, wind and pollen.
The lack of lubrication on the eye surface is due to an imbalance of the outer layer of the eye’s surface. This outer layer is the lipid layer and it controls tear evaporation from the eye’s surface.
Latest research reveals that almost 80% of dry eye sufferers have a disturbance of the eye’s lipid layer*. Many sufferers think they have a tear production problem. The majority don’t; it’s actually tear evaporation from the eye’s surface that causes dry eye.
tearsagain® is the first dry eye spray clinically proven to address the most significant cause of dry eye syndrome – tear evaporation.
What makes tearsagain® really extraordinary is that it’s sprayed onto the closed eyelid!
This liposomal delivery system was engineered in Germany and has been brought to Australia by BioRevive. Most other treatments i.e. eye drops, only flood the eye with saline; an ineffective treatment for 80% of dry eye sufferers.
Consumers and eye specialists already recognise tearsagain® for it’s indisputable qualities:
• 3 year shelf life
• ease of application (spray on closed eyelids)
• can be used with contact lenses & does not smudge eye make up
Contact lenses, laser eye surgery, air travel, office air-conditioning, swimming pool chemicals, age, menopause, medications and prolonged computer use are just some of the causes of dry eye. In a day and age where so many lifestyle factors attribute to this common and irritating condition, it makes sense to have a solution that’s quick, effective and so simple; you can even do it with your eyes closed!
tearsagain® is available throughout pharmacies and optometrists Australia-wide.
