Advantages: Helps soothe tired eyes

Disadvantages: Can't use when wearing or just before wearing soft contact lenses

I am on the computer most of the day at work and I like to use it at home. I'm also a reader and can't go to sleep without a few chapters of my latest good read so my eyes do get tired. I have to be careful as I suffer from migraine and I find if I let my eyes get tired then it can trigger a migraine. So I'm sure you can imagine how pleased I was to find Optrex Sore Eye Drops.

This 10ml bottle is a real gem. It costs £3.79 at my local pharmacy and that seems a fairly standard price. The bottle is white and you remove the blue cap, tilt your head back and drop one or two drops in each eye, you can repeat this as often as required. It immediately makes your eyes feel cooler and gets rid of the gritty feeling you get when your eyes are really tired.

This product isn't intended for infections, you should see a doctor and get some antibiotic drops if you have an infection, but for tired eyes these drops really help.

Ingredients:

Distilled Witch Hazel
Purified water
Boric Acid
Glycerin
Borax
Benzalkonium Chloride

The information leaflet says that side effects are rare but a few people may have an allergic reaction to the ingredients. It also warns not to use the drops when you are wearing soft contact lenses or just before wearing them.

The drops should be used within 28 days of opening.

I wouldn't be without these drops in my bathroom cabinet, I hope you like them if you give them a try.

Summary: A great product if you suffer from tired eyes
