What products fall under proper eye care?

Good eye care includes moisturising eye drops for daily comfort and a safe eye wash for emergencies. The drops, like our Lacrifresh range, restore moisture to dry eyes. You use the eyewash to rinse dust, sand or chemical liquids from your eye at lightning speed.

These two different products complement each other perfectly in your bathroom cabinet. The eyewash is the quick first aid for accidents indoors or at work. The moisturising drops, on the other hand, are used preventively and soothingly during a long day behind the screen. Together, they ensure that your eyes are always optimally protected.

When do you use an eye wash with your eye care?

You use an eyewash in your eye care immediately when irritating dirt, dust, sand or an aggressive liquid gets into your eye. The Avizor eyewash quickly and abundantly flushes away the unwanted material, effectively preventing serious damage to your fragile cornea.

Every second counts in such a painful accident. The handy design of the Avizor eyewash bottle makes it easy to squeeze the soft, sterile liquid into your eye in a targeted manner. Absolutely never rub your eye in such a panic situation. This could cause nasty scratches. Always keep a flush bottle in your first aid box for immediate safety.

Why is advice crucial for proper eye care?

Every person has unique eyes and experiences completely different symptoms. A specialist can tell exactly what kind of dryness you are experiencing. Is it an actual lack of tear fluid, or is your own tear layer simply evaporating far too quickly? Each drop from our range will relieve the symptoms slightly, but the real solution lies in choosing the perfect match.

At SMEYEL , we believe very strongly in this targeted, professional advice. We offer different concentrations, such as Lacrifresh OcuDry 0.20% and 0.30%, for good reason. By listening very carefully to your optician's honest advice, you can be one hundred percent sure that you are choosing the right treatment for your specific situation.

Which eye care helps best against dry eyes?

The best eye care against dry eyes consists of products with strong moisturising properties, such as the Lacrifresh OcuDry line. These medical fluids firmly replenish your natural tear fluid and create a long-lasting, comfortable shield over your eye. This stops the chafing sensation immediately.

For mild complaints, the fresh 0.20% variant is a great solution to give your eyes a brief boost during the day. However, do you chronically suffer from extremely dry, burning eyes in air-conditioned rooms? Then the thicker 0.30% formula offers much more intense and long-lasting relief.

The benefits of aloe vera in our eye care products

Within our range, you will find the very special Lacrifresh Aloe drops. The addition of aloe vera is definitely not a quick commercial trend, but a very conscious medical choice. This unique succulent plant is known worldwide for its amazing, soothing and skin-restoring properties. This is perfect for the delicate tissues around and on your eye.

The aloe vera helps to instantly soothe the resulting irritation and slight redness. It gives an incredibly natural, fresh feeling as soon as the drop hits your eye. This is especially a very big relief if your eyes have been severely irritated by strong winds on a bike, a bright sun or a long ride in a car with blistering heating.

How long does liquid eye care keep after opening?

Liquid eye care products, such as eye drops and rinse bottles, are usually safe to use for about two to three months after the very first opening. After this extreme period, harmful bacteria can grow in the liquid. This significantly increases the risk of a painful eye infection.

Always take this strict expiry date tremendously seriously for your own safety. A very simple and practical tip: write the date when you take off the cap directly on the label with a black pen large. This will prevent you from using obsolete products and keep your eyes in perfect condition.

Can I combine this eye care with contact lenses?

Yes, most products from our Avizor eye care range are excellent with soft contact lenses. You can easily and completely safely drip the mild and unconsumed variants, such as Lacrifresh Moisture or Aloe, directly into your eye while still wearing the lenses.

If you keep your contact lenses in every day while working behind a bright screen, your eyes simply need some extra moisture. This is because the lenses absorb much of your own tear fluid. A refreshing drop of our softening fluid instantly restores smooth lenses and razor-sharp, relaxed vision without friction.

How to apply eye care products safely?

Good and safe hygiene is always absolutely paramount. Before you start, always wash your hands very thoroughly with soap. Gently bend your head back a little into a comfortable position. Then use the index finger of your free hand to very gently pull your lower eyelid down slightly. This will create a small, convenient gutter.

Drop the liquid from the bottle precisely into this gutter. Take great care that the plastic nozzle absolutely never touches your eye, eyelashes or face directly. After administering, simply close your eyes gently. Absolutely do not blink hard, as you will immediately squeeze the valuable liquid out of your eye.

Why do we choose Avizor in our eye care?

At SMEYEL , we very consciously choose to fill our eye care category exclusively with Avizor's top products. This is because this respected and major medical brand shares exactly our strict vision of the very highest quality and absolute patient safety. All their products, from the large eyewash bottles to the smallest bottles of OcuDry, have been extensively clinically tested in professional laboratories.

Naturally, they all carry the mandatory CE mark and effortlessly comply with the strictest European health standards. Avizor is also at the forefront of developing mild, preservative-free liquids. This ensures the ultimate protection and highest comfort for you, the end user. So you always order proven top quality for your eyes.

Is eye care without preservatives better for your eyes?

Yes, eye care without synthetic preservatives is significantly better and gentler on your eyes. Preservatives are normally used to make bottles last long, but these chemicals cause mild irritation or redness in many people. An unconserved solution is the purest and safest choice.

At SMEYEL , we therefore offer plenty of products that are free of these nasty additives. Lacrifresh Moisture and the variants with moisturising aloe vera mimic your own, natural tears much better. This prevents you from unwittingly building up allergic reactions in the long run. It is the most loving choice for fragile and sensitive eyes.

Frequently asked questions about eye care

1. What exactly is in a bottle of eyewash eye wash?

The Avizor eyewash eye wash in our eye care collection is a large 250-millilitre bottle filled with a very safe and extremely gentle liquid. This liquid is a sterile, isotonic saline solution. Isotonic means that the liquid has exactly the same natural salinity and acidity as the fluid in your own body tissues and tears. As a result, rinsing with this shower is not at all painful and does not sting violently, which is often the case with ordinary tap water. The bottle is also often equipped with a special, soft cap or eye cup at the top. This cap fits exactly over the curve of your eye socket, making it very easy to keep your eye open during the ample and prolonged flushing of the delicate eyeball.

2. Is Lacrifresh Moisture suitable for daily use?

Yes, the Lacrifresh Moisture from our range is really excellent for daily, frequent use. It is a fantastic and very gentle basic care for your eyes. These eye drops are specially designed to directly counteract daily fatigue and mild dryness complaints, which are caused, for example, by a lot of screen work or dry air. As these specific drops do not contain any harsh preservatives, you can safely apply them to your eyes several times a day without any worries. Your eyes will definitely not get addicted to these, nor will they get lazy at all from regular dripping. Place the bottle conveniently in sight on your desk and give your eyes a well-earned, fresh break every now and then to keep performing optimally.

3. Can I use an eyewash when I have my contact lenses in?

If you suddenly get a chemical liquid, aggressive dirt or a hard grain of sand in your eye, you should always act with lightning speed. Rinsing immediately with your eyewash is the absolute priority at that stressful moment. So immediately start rinsing out your eye with the mild saline solution. During this ample flushing, by the way, there is a very good chance that the soft lens will already flush safely and quickly out of your eye by itself. Is this not the case? Then try to remove the lens as soon as possible once the worst dirt has been diluted and rinsed away. After this, however, always dispose of this particular lens immediately and inexorably in the trash. You should absolutely not clean or wear this contaminated lens again to avoid painful and permanent corneal infections.

4. What is the difference between OcuDry 0.20% and 0.30%?

Within the highly professional Lacrifresh OcuDry line, we offer two very distinct concentrations. The main difference is in the exact amount of hydrating and moisturising ingredients. The 0.20% is a slightly thinner, refreshing liquid ideal for mild to moderate dryness. Think of eyes that feel tight after reading a book for a long time. The OcuDry 0.30% is a considerably thicker, more viscous liquid. This high concentration has been specially developed for moderate to very severe and chronic dryness complaints. Because the liquid is somewhat thicker, it stays on your fragile cornea much longer and more stable. This gives a much heavier, intensive and hours-long sedation. Please note that the 0.30% may cause a slight haze for the first few seconds after insertion, until you have blinked properly a few times.

5. Does this eye care also work against hay fever and allergies?

If you suffer a lot from itchy, red and excessively watery eyes in spring due to hay fever, our eye care products can definitely provide partial relief. Using, for example, the soothing Lacrifresh Aloe or the fresh Moisture helps to literally wash the irritating pollen and annoying dust from the corners of your eyes. Moreover, the moisturising layer instantly cools down your burning eyes wonderfully, slightly soothing the constant itching. However, these products do not stop your body's actual allergic reaction itself. If you really want to block the release of histamine medically, you need very specific anti-allergy drops from a doctor. However, for hygienically and gently flushing away pollen during the busy working day, our mild products are a very safe and pleasant addition.

6. Why should I go to the optician for good advice?

At SMEYEL , we very often stress how incredibly important it is to seek professional advice from a qualified optician. Dry or burning eyes can have very different underlying causes in your body. An optician can use special medical equipment to see exactly whether your eyes are producing too little tear fluid or whether the fatty layer of your tears is simply not working properly, causing them to evaporate too quickly. Each specific problem really requires a totally different, medical composition in the fluid. By expertly identifying the exact cause, you invest your money directly in the right product. This prevents unnecessary disappointment and gets you rid of your nasty, exhausting symptoms much faster.

7. Can I borrow someone else's eye care products?

No, it is really strictly forbidden to share eye drops or eye showers casually with your partner, family or an immediate office colleague. An opened bottle for your eyes is really a strictly personal hygiene product. This is because while administering the liquid, the small plastic dispensing nozzle inevitably always comes very close to your eyes and eyelashes. This allows bacteria or microscopic viruses from your skin to land directly on the plastic of the bottle. If someone else then uses this same bottle, you immediately transfer these nasty and dangerous pathogens into the other person's vulnerable eye. This can lead to a highly contagious, painful conjunctivitis in the other person at lightning speed. Always take care of your own bottle.

8. What is the best way to store my eye care bottles?

The way you store bottles and vials at home is hugely crucial to the safety and all-important sterility of the liquid. Always store your products properly upright in a dry, cool and preferably very dark place. Normal room temperature in a locked cabinet in the hallway is often ideal. We actually strongly advise against using the hot bathroom. The heat and highly fluctuating humidity of frequent showering can quickly affect the quality of sensitive ingredients. Moreover, always make sure to close the twist-off cap immediately and very tightly after each use. Also, really never touch the opening of the bottle with dirty or washed fingers, to totally exclude contamination of the precious liquid.

9. How should I rinse my eyes when my eyewash bottle is empty?

A 250-millilitre bottle of eyewash is really ideal for the first, lightning-fast rinse after a sudden accident. It immediately helps to dilute the worst chemicals well and rinse away from your cornea immediately. However, in some serious situations, for example if you really got a very aggressive, corrosive chemical in your eye, one bottle is simply not long enough. In such a major emergency situation, you need to keep flushing the eye constantly for at least 15 to 20 full minutes. Is your Avizor flush bottle halfway empty? Then immediately run to the sink or shower stall in your home. Turn on the gentle, lukewarm tap and forcibly hold your eye wide open in it. Meanwhile, always have someone else call the emergency room.

10. Are Avizor's products safe for cleaning my lenses?

The eye care category focuses very specifically on products that you administer directly into the eye for hydration and rinsing. So these specific products do not clean your lenses at all. If you are looking for Avizor's high-quality products for nighttime lens care for your contact lenses, you are also in the right place in our shop. This is because we also offer the hugely reliable Avizor Alvera all-in-one liquid, the safe Regard bottle and the powerful Ever Clean peroxide system. These products contain the necessary soaps and disinfectants to successfully rub bacteria and proteins off the lenses. Pay close attention to the label before buying the bottle and always use any medical product only for the specific application for which it is safely designed.
