100% Optical: Not a dry eye in the house

Opportunities are increasing for optical practices providing dry eye treatment as more patients present with symptoms that cause them pain and discomfort. Exhibitors told Optician that living with the disease can be debilitating and eye care professionals were best placed to discuss hygiene routines to soothe symptoms. A range of products were showcased at 100% Optical, which included drops, gels, sprays and compresses.

Théa Pharmaceuticals launched Zaspray, a three-in-one, preservative-free spray that is designed to relieve itchy and dry eyes caused by allergies. The spray has been specifically designed to hydrate, lubricate and soothe the eyes with a formula that protects the eye tissue and improves tear film stability, the company said.
