Our most advanced formula – REFRESH OPTIVE® Mega-3.
Preservative-free, low blur formula fortifies and restores the lipid layer. Its unique blend of natural oils helps prevent tear evaporation.
Treats Dry Eye signs and symptoms associated with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
Nourishes all three layers of the tear film damaged by Dry Eye for immediate, long-lasting relief.
This lipid-enhanced lubricant eye drop is clinically proven to treat the signs and symptoms of Dry Eye. Mega-3 does not require shaking prior to use, unlike Retaine® MGD.
REFRESH OPTIVE® Mega-3 Preservative-Free Lubricant Eye Drops come in sterile, single-use vials you can take with you anywhere and are safe to use as often as needed.
It is the only artificial tear that delivers a blend of flaxseed and castor oils to the tear film, in a stable nano-emulsion formula.
Nano-emulsion technology delivers flaxseed and castor oil, fortifying the lipid layer and helping prevent tear evaporation without compromising patient comfort.
Polysorbate 80 keeps the nano-emulsion from separating, providing consistent stability—no shaking required.
CMC, a water-loving polymer, binds to epithelial cellsto maintain moisture on the ocular surface for rapid on-eye comfort and long-lasting relief.
All OPTIVE® formulas include the patented osmoprotectant property that comes from the three compatible solutes—glycerin, l-carnitine and erythritol—all of which deliver added protection to the corneal epithelial cells against hypertonic stress.
MEGA-3 contains a fourth osmoprotectant, trehalose, for an advanced approach to treating Dry Eye symptoms.
