Advantages: Brings back my puppydog alluring eyes

Disadvantages: Get dependant on them

It has been said that the eyes are indeed the windows to the soul. If that is the case then I am in need of a good pair of net curtains... I have a protein deficiency in my eyes that means any late night, any contact with smoke or swimming pool chemicals and my eyes balloon like Ferne Britain pre gastric band. They swell, go red and give me a look that says.... Rehab. Which despite Amy making it quite en vogue is not the look for a professional financial adviser (professional...honest)

To combat the haven't slept for three weeks look I have tried and tested just about every eye drop either in front of the counter or behind it and the only one to guarantee a level of normality is the Murine Dry and Tired Eyes.


What is it?

A 10ml plastic bottle of eye solution containing 0.012% naphazoline hydrochloride costing between 3 - 5 pounds from all good chemists. You have to ask the chemist for it as it not out on the shelves, and there is a few different types of Murine available depending on what the problems you have. In my experience the Murine Dry and Tired Eyes works best for me and cannot extol the virtues of this enough.


Why use it?

The lack of Protein in my eyes means they are dryer than the Sahara desert and what this essentially does is rehydrate the eyes and therefore giving a healthier less bloodshot look. I have spoken to some people who use this to help with their hayfever but I would consult the pharmacist before ordering this product. This clears minor irritations and reduces redness in eyes.



How to Use it?

For ocular use only!. Squeeze 1 or 2 drops into each eye up to 3 times daily. Very easy to use and the design of the bottle means that it doesn't gush out into your eyes and face and doesn't leak once cap is on. I find two drops in each eye every morning provides enough hydration and keeps my puppy dogs eyes so bright and alluring.
It is also worth noting that the Murine should be used within one month opening, it is not to be stored above 25c and should not be refrigerated or frozen. There is a use before date and generally one bottle will last about 6 weeks with daily usage



Cost

I've not been in a pharmacist that does not stock this, but with no set price, the cost of this Murine can vary anything between 3 and 5 pounds. The most I have had to pay was at an independent chemist and one 10ml bottle cost me 4.69.



Advantages

This really works. Within 5 minutes of application my eyes return to their very best. Any redness is gone and the puffiness dies down almost immediately. Small enough to fit in pockets and purses, it is a very simple process of application. The effects last for hours and one daily morning dosage will work for the rest of the day.


Disadvantages

Slightly pricier than other eye drops; this is only an aesthetic solution to what could be a serious eye problem. It doesn't provide a long term solution to any eye problems you may have. My doctor does not recommend this product for long term usage, in his words it contains chemicals that over a lengthened period of time, if built up in the eye would cause more harm than good, but I was told that for occasional use this is fine.



Conclusion


I do suffer with my eyes and can't even swim in the sea, or go out in the sun without my eyes flaring up and it can be an absolute nightmare. Since I discovered this, my eyes have been a great deal better and despite my over use of the product I have no bad things to say about the Murine product.Maybe I am a little too dependant upon them but if it aint broke dont fix it!. Oh... do not get any into mouth as it is one of the most powerful laxatives known to mischievous man....two drops in someone' tea and they will be breaking land speed records to reach a toilet..... Apparently :) But if you are looking to try something for tired and sore eyes then I would certainly recommend you give this a go.

Thanks for Reading
