TearsAgain®

Soothing spray for the relief of dry eyes

TearsAgain® is a new, revolutionary eye spray developed as a substitute for eye drops because so many people have difficulty applying drops to their eyes. Up to 10% of South Africans suffer from dry eye syndrome which is the result of a lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture in the eyes.

TearsAgain® is held 10cm from your eye and sprayed once or twice onto the lid of the closed eye so there is no risk of cross contamination as it does not touch the skin or eyelid. Liposomes then penetrate the skin and migrate into the tear film to blend with the outer layer of the tears soothing and refreshing the eyes within minutes. TearsAgain® is non irritating and safe enough for kids to use. It can also be used by contact lens wearers as it will not affect either the lenses or eyes. Each handy 10ml non-leak, spray bottle contains 100 metered doses.

Symptoms of dry eye syndrome are burning, itching, pain, light sensitivity, redness, blurred vision and a gritty feeling in the eyes.

Common causes of dry eye syndrome :

The natural aging process - hormonal changes such as in pregnancy, menstruation and menopause

Environmental conditions – wind, heat, dust, air conditioning, cigarette smoke and even hair dryers

Not blinking regularly - due to watching television or working on a computer without a break

Contact lenses – half the people who wear contact lenses complain of dry eyes because soft contact lenses absorb the tears in the eye

Certain medications - antihistamines, antidepressants, birth control pills, nasal decongestants and Accutane, the acne drug, can all affect the eyes

Auto-immune diseases - Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and certain thyroid disease can interfere with blinking and affect oil glands in the eyes.

TearsAgain® is imported from Germany and contains no harmful ingredients so it can be used as frequently as needed. It has a shelf life of 3 years, unlike many eye drops which have to be used within 30 days once opened and remains sterile.
