Tears Again - clinically proven relief for dry eyes
Latest research reveals 78% of dry eye sufferers have a disturbance of the eye’s lipid layer, which controls tear evaporation. This means, in most cases, dry eye is caused by excessive tear evaporation rather than insufficient tears. Conventional treatments such as eye drops, only address the aqueous or watery layer of the eye and do not address the cause of the condition.
Developed by German company Optima Pharmaczeutische, Tears Again effectively stabilises the lipid layer of the dry eye. A stable lipid layer reduces tear evaporation by up to 95%. Ref: Dausch et al, A new therapy concept with a liposome eye spray for the treatment of dry eye, 2004, Germany.
How does Tears Again work?
Tears Again is sprayed onto a closed eyelid. The following outlines what happens before, during and after the closed eye is sprayed.
Before treatment: The lipid layer is an extremely thin oily layer on the outer surface of the eye which helps contain the aqueous layer of the tear film. If the lipid layer is deficient, water from the eye quickly evaporates away.
During treatment: When the eye is closed the lipid layer is pushed together by the eyelids. The Tears Again liposomes mix with the eye's lipid layer. Only a small quantity of liposomes are needed to repair the defective lipid layer.
After treatment: The lipid spray supplements the defective lipid layer and therefore helps stabilise the tear film. Within a few minutes, patients may experience immediate and prolonged relief. Tears Again can be reapplied as often as required.

Tears Again - What to use it for
Dry eye occurs when the eye lacks sufficient lubrication, causing discomfort with each blink. Symptoms can include a scratchy, irritated feeling of the eyelid running over the front of the eye.
The lack of lubrication on the eye surface is due to an imbalance of the outer layer of the tear film, which contains essential fatty compounds. This is called the oily or lipid layer, which is responsible for controlling 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 patients are under the belief that they do not produce enough tears. They do in fact, it’s simply a case that they have evaporated from the eye’s surface causing the feeling of dry eye.
Tears Again is currently the only product available in Australia which addresses the underlying cause of dry eye – a disturbance of the lipid layer. It is a liposomal spray, sprayed onto the closed eye. Each metered dose spray comprises of millions of tiny liposomes. Liposomes are microscopic particles that provide the eye with water, phospholipids, essential fatty acids, oil acids and vitamin E.
Tears Again lowers the temperature of the eye, eases itchiness and reduces inflammation. Other benefits of using Tears Again include:
- easier to apply than drops or gels directly into the eye
- can be used whilst wearing all eye make-up

Directions for use: Hold approximately 10cm away from the closed eye and spray Tears Again 1-2 times on closed eyelids.
