The lipid layer protects the tears from evaporation and prevents tears from running over the lid margin. A lack of these lipids results in an increased evaporation of the tear film.

• Once sprayed upon the closed eyes, the lipids contained in OPTASE^® Eye Spray mix with lipids produced by the Meibomian glands at the lid margin.

• Upon opening the eye, this enhanced lipid mix spreads onto the tear film and thus stabilises it.

• OPTASE^® Eye Spray stabilises the lipid layer. The lipids in OPTASE^® Eye Spray moisturise the eye area and provide protection for the skin.
