What is dry eye?
Dry eye occurs when the eye lacks sufficient lubrication, causing discomfort with each blink. Symptoms can include a scratchy, irritated feeling of the eyelid running over the front of the eye. The lack of lubrication on the eye surface is due to an imbalance of the outer layer of the tear film, which contains essential fatty compounds. This is called the lipid layer, which is responsible for controlling tear evaporation from the eye’s surface.

How does Tears Again work?
Tears Again addresses the underlying causes of dry eye, a deficiency in the lipid layer. By delivering phospholipids, essential fatty acids, oil acids and vitamin E via liposomal application, tearsagain® assists in stabilising the eye’s lipid layer and thus reducing tear evaporation.

Tears Again is sprayed onto the closed eye, how does it actually get into the eye’s surface?
Concentration of the essential compounds on the eyes’ lid margins. They collect on the lid margins then each time you blink they are carried onto the surface of the eye.
