Tears Naturale Eye Drops - £3.40 

Our eyes are lubricated naturally by our body, but some people produce less or abnormal amounts of tears due medication, health conditions or even the weather. Tears Naturale is specifically formulated to act as synthetic tears to help soothe your eyes when you need it, relieving the discomfort of dry eyes.

Tears Naturale (Hypromellose, dextran 70) eye drops 15ml
Optrex Night Restore (Sodium Hyaluronate) 0.4% gel drops 10ml

Optrex Night Restore Eye Drops - £9.99

Our eyes are constantly exposed to triggers such as computer screens, air conditioning, contact lenses, heating or medications. Eyes can feel progressively worse over the day and at the end of the day they feel dry, irritated and tired. Sleeping provides the perfect opportunity to restore some moisture to the eyes.

Optrex Night Restore gel drops contain sodium hyaluronate which helps lubricate and moisturise, when used at night restoring moistness to the tear film and supporting the repair of the ocular surface to protect from discomfort.
