Optrex Actimist Eye Spray

I first spotted this product whilst browsing the Boots website and knew I had to try it. In fact, I was so excited about trying it, I headed off to Boots to get some the next day. It has now become one of my favourite products and I can't stop raving about how good it is to anyone who will listen, and so thought it only fair to share with my Dooyoo friends too! I am a contact lens wearer and I also do eleven hour night shifts in an air conditioned office and a large proportion of that time is spent staring at a computer screen. These factors combined mean that my eyes can often become very dry and uncomfortable throughout the night. My optician confirmed that ...  Read the complete review

I've always been really squeamish when it comes to eyeballs! That coupled with a tendency to suffer from dry easily irritated eyes means that this new product from Optrex is a godsend. I could never apply eye drops myself and had to get someone to put them in for me, even then I had to be virtually pinned down (you should see me trying to get contacts lenses in....nightmare!) so when I read about this new Acimist eye spray I just had to try it!

I work in an air conditioned office for between 40 and 60 hours a week and I wear contact lenses so often my eyes are tired and scratchy. I usually use traditional eye drops but after seeing the adverts for this product on TV I had to give it a try. Unfortunately I wasn't very impressed. I have been using the spray three times a day for a week and haven't seen any improvement. It's also very expensive at £15 a bottle, at the rate I go through eye drops I would be using a bottle a month! There are benefits to this product including the fact that one small bottle can last for 3 years and it's more hygenic than drops. However I find that the spray ...  Read the complete review
