Optifresh Plus Lubricant Eye Drops 30 x 0.4mL

Optifresh Plus is a preservative-free, unit-dose eye lubricant formulated for moderate to severe dry eyes. Each re-closable vial delivers soothing, long-lasting moisture to relieve burning, irritation, grittiness and dryness caused by screen time, air-conditioning, wind, smoke or contact lens wear. The higher-viscosity formula spreads evenly across the ocular surface to protect and hydrate while supporting a stable tear film. With 30 single-use 0.4mL vials, it’s hygienic, travel-friendly and ideal for people sensitive to preservatives.

• Re-closable unit-dose vials help maintain hygiene and minimise waste between applications

• Suitable with contact lenses and for day or night use

Disadvantages

• Thicker drops may cause brief, mild blurring immediately after use

• Single-use plastics create more waste than multi-dose bottles

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I use Optifresh Plus?
A: Wash hands. Twist off the vial cap. Tilt head back and pull down the lower lid. Instil 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed. Avoid touching the eye with the tip. Recap if re-using the same day.

A: Use as often as required for comfort. Many people use it 2–6 times daily, increasing during high-irritation periods.

A: Yes. It’s compatible with contact lenses. If irritation persists, remove lenses and consult your eye-care professional.

A: Use immediately after opening. If re-closing, discard within the same day (check your pack; some users follow a 12-hour in-use window).

Q: Can I use it with other eye medicines?
A: Yes, but separate by 10–15 minutes. Use medicated drops first, then lubricants last unless directed otherwise.
