What’s in a drop

A new dry eye drop, MeiboTears has just been launched in the UK by TLC. It forms part of an eye-care range which includes TLC lid hygiene wipes, TLC Heathy Eyes chewable orange flavoured macular supplement and MeiboClean tea tree lid hygiene foam (figure 1).

These products are further complemented by the Meibo-Mask heat/cold mask. With such a range of products available, I was keen to find out what is in the new drop and why is a drop alone often insufficient in dry eye management.

The formulation of the new drops (figure 2) includes some key components and it is important for practitioners to understand the role of ingredients in such products.
