Description (Rebecca's)
Lubricating sprays can be really helpful for some people. There used to be a liposome spray or two on the market, but they disappeared years ago. It's nice to see something new and innovative in spray format!
You're supposed to spray it on closed eyes and let it seep in. I think dry eye sprays can be helpful in situations like these:
- You have difficulty putting in drops, due to strong blink reflex, tremor, etc. Sprays are much more forgiving!
- You need a little boost, but don't necessarily need to flood your eye.
It's supposed to be good for 300 doses, and it has to be used within 3 months of opening. That works out to about 3 uses per day for one bottle, so I think that's a reasonably economical way to get a bit of a boost without using up quite so many preservative free vials, for example.
It says it's compatible with all contact lens types. If any scleral lens users try it out I'll be interested to hear what they think.
