	For patients with mild dry eye in need of fast relief.
	For patients with severe dry eye in need of extra protection.
	Removes debris and eye makeup that may cause irritation.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Systane HYDRATION Lubricant Eye Drops combines hyaluronic acid (HA) with hydroxypropyl guar (HP-Guar) to promote greater hydration and lubrication than HA alone.

HP-Guar	Hyaluronic Acid
Upon instillation, HP-Guar cross-links with borate, creating a viscoelastic matrix designed to bandage over damaged epithelium and aid in the retention of the demulcents.	HA has been shown in preclinical studies to potentially promote cellular proliferation, anti-inflammatory effects and wound healing often required in dry eye management.

2x greater moisture retention versus HA alone*1+

Study overview: Human ocular epithelial cell preparations were cultivated and then soaked in various test formulations. After rinsing away the formulations and desiccating the cells, moisture retention on the epithelial surface was significantly greater with Systane HYDRATION compared with HA alone (p<0.001).

After rinsing and drying, 44.4% of cells treated with Systane HYDRATION were viable compared to 21.5% of cells treated with HA alone.

Faster ocular re-epithelialisation vs other HA products

Study overview: Epithelium debridement was performed and randomised HA-containing artificial tear products were instilled for a total of 4 administrations. After 24 hours of debridement, corneas were stained with fluorescein, imaged and analysed to calculate the total fluorescein-positive area and evaluate the number of re-epithelialised corneas (fluorescein negative) in each treatment group.

Our eyesight is vital to learning and negotiating the world and largely impacts our potential to live full and productive lives. Myopia (short-sightedness) is the most common ocular disorder in the world, often with serious consequences. By 2050, it is estimated to affect one in two people, becoming one of the world’s leading causes of permanent blindness.

We see a world where childhood myopia is controlled early, easily and more effectively with positive life–changing impacts. And we’re working to address the global myopia epidemic with its enormous social and economic implications – by bringing the clinically proven, child-friendly Eyerising Myopia Management Device RLRL therapy to the next generation at home. Saving sight sooner makes a brighter future for all of us.

Shapes

Angular and oversized frames continue to dominate the eyewear scene. Think bold cat-eye shapes, geometric silhouettes and square frames with a modern twist.

Colours

Crystal clear and pastel hues are a popular choice. Whether in soft pastels like blush pink and baby blue, or crystal-clear acetate, these see-through frames offer a subtle, sophisticated touch.

Sustainable Materials

Eco-consciousness continues to influence fashion choices, and eyewear is no exception.

Sustainable materials, including recycled metals and plastics, are now being incorporated into both optical frames and sunglasses. See our range in store now. Selecting your pair from this range is not only better for the planet, but also adds a unique, natural texture to your eyewear.

Celebrity Inspiration

Celebrities and fashion influencers have a significant influence on eyewear trends. Keep an eye out for stars sporting these styles, such as oversized cat-eye sunglasses worn by celebrities like Hailey Bieber, which may provide inspiration for your next eyewear purchase.

Maintaining good eye health can be as simple as choosing the right foods. In this article, we'll explore the importance of healthy eating for your eyes and recommend some insightful books to enhance your knowledge on this topic.

The Power of Nutrient-Rich Foods: Eating for eye health doesn't have to be a complicated endeavour. Incorporating certain foods into your summer diet can provide essential nutrients that promote optimal vision. Antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene can help protect your eyes from oxidative damage caused by the sun's harmful UV rays. Adding Leafy greens, citrus fruits, colourful vegetables, and Omega-3 to your diet provides a source of vision-boosting nutrients that help to keep your eyes in top form.

Books to Deepen Your Knowledge:

1. "The Plant Paradox" by Dr. Steven Gundry: While not solely focused on eye health, this book delves into the connection between diet and overall well-being. Dr. Gundry explores how certain foods can either harm or heal our bodies, which can indirectly impact our eye health.

2. "Eat Right for Your Sight" by Jennifer Trainer Thompson and Johanna M. Seddon, MD: This comprehensive guide offers insights into how specific foods and nutrients can help protect your eyes from common vision problems, including cataracts and AMD. It includes delicious recipes designed to boost eye health and maintain sharp vision.

3. "The Eye Care Revolution" by Dr. Robert Abel Jr.: Dr. Abel's book provides a holistic approach to eye health. It not only discusses the importance of nutrition but also explores lifestyle factors, supplements, and exercises that contribute to healthy eyes.

This summer, make a conscious effort to prioritize eye health by including nutrient-rich foods in your diet and check out those insightful books above.
