Why do I have dry eyes?

Dry eyes aren’t unusual and the condition usually isn’t serious. There are many reasons why you may experience dry eyes, and you can usually treat this condition yourself or with over the counter remedies from your pharmacist. Some of the most common causes of dry eyes include:

• Wearing contact lenses
• Spending a lot of time looking at computer screens without a break
• You are older than 50
• Your environment, especially windy, cold, dry or dusty environments
• Spending time in air-conditioned or heated environments
• Smoking
• Drinking alcohol
• Some medications, e.g. antidepressants, blood pressure medication
• Some medical conditions, e.g. lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, blepharitis

How will this product help to soothe my dry eyes?

Carbomer is part of a group of eye drops known as ‘artificial tears.’ This means that they soothe your eyes by imitating the make up of your natural tears, hydrating your eyes and easing dryness as your natural tears would.

Can I use this eye gel if I wear contact lenses?

You can use this eye gel if you wear contact lenses, but you will need to remove your contacts before using the gel. Once you’ve used this product, wait for 15 minutes before putting your contact lenses back in. This product contains cetrimide, which is known to discolour soft contact lenses, so keep this in mind before using this product.
