New Rewetting Drops For Contact Wearers

An Important Safeguard Against Eye Damage

A person's tears naturally provide the moisture needed so that soft contact lenses can float across the cornea. This moisture is necessary both for good vision and to maintain a healthy flow of oxygen in the eyes. Dry, scratchy eyes are a warning sign of insufficient tear production, which can affect lens fit and lead to reduced vision. Long-term dehydration can damage the cornea and possibly result in loss of vision. Tears also are an important defense mechanism against infection as they wash away irregular particles and irritants.

Consequently, healthcare professionals often direct soft contact wearers to use a rewetting drop several times a day to maintain the film of tears that naturally protects the eyes. As with any additive patients apply to their eyes frequently, the drop's purity and non-irritating characteristics are important.

Eye-Cept Rewetting Drops have been formulated to promote overall eye health by maintaining the necessary moisture levels in a gentle, hygienic alternative to conventional rewetting drops. Long-term use promotes overall eye health and contact comfort.

With patients becoming more concerned about healthcare safety, Eye-Cept(R) Rewetting Drops is their only choice for a lubricating drop that is both preservative-free and available in hygienic single-use vials.

As a result, Eye-Cept offers the millions of soft contact lens wearers safe, long-lasting comfort, a healthier fit over time and protection against potential infection. Its pure, preservative-free formula will not irritate even sensitive eyes, and the drops' sterile, single-use vials eliminate the potential for infection caused by contaminated bottles touching the eyes.

Most other rewetting drops contain preservatives that can produce an allergic reaction or trigger a chemical response that potentially can damage eyes with extended use over time. Because it is preservative-free and formulated without harsh chemicals, Eye-Cept is safe for long-term use.

The conventional packaging of most other lens or rewetting drops also can cause problems as wearers reuse the same bottle hundreds of times over several months. Every time the bottle is opened and closed, even only briefly, bacteria and germs collect on its tip. When using the drops, the contaminated tip often accidentally touches some part of the eye or lid, creating the conditions for infection.

Eye-Cept (www.Eye-Cept.com), from Optics Laboratory, restores the necessary moisture level in eyes to maintain a comfortable and healthy lens fit throughout the day, and provides immediate, long-lasting relief for dry eyes from contact wear.
