Avizor Eyewash is an eye wash with an eye cup for rinsing the eye. The sterile, isotonic saline solution matches the pH of natural tears and therefore feels gentle. Using the included eye cup, you can rinse dust, pollen, small particles and debris from the eye, which can provide relief from mild irritation or a tired, dry sensation. Unlike moisturising eye drops, which add moisture, an eye wash physically washes away irritating particles. The 250 ml bottle with eye cup is suitable for daily eye hygiene. The eye wash is not intended for cleaning, storing or moistening contact lenses.

An eye wash is a sterile, isotonic saline solution designed for daily and professional eye hygiene. The product is used to gently rinse and cleanse the surface of the eye. Unlike standard eye drops, it comes with an eye cup, which physically washes dust, particles and allergens out of the eye. The saline solution matches the pH of natural tears and therefore feels gentle on the eyes. Avizor Eyewash is intended for rinsing the eye, not for cleaning or storing contact lenses. Use the product in accordance with the instructions on the packaging. If symptoms persist or if a foreign object cannot be removed, it is advisable to consult a professional.
An eye wash works by creating a gentle, physiological flow of fluid over the surface of the eye. You fill the supplied eye cup with the sterile solution, place it over your open eye and tilt your head back. By blinking, the isotonic fluid flushes microscopic particles from the conjunctiva without causing mechanical friction. This washes dust, pollen or small particles out of the eye. Wash and dry your hands before using the eye cup and clean the cup after use according to the instructions. Use a fresh portion of liquid for each rinse and do not touch the bottle opening. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging. If a particle does not come loose or if symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
You can use an eye wash if your eyes feel tired, dry or irritated due to external factors. This can happen following exposure to dust, sand or smoke, or during the pollen season. An eye wash can also be used after spending a long time in front of a screen to refresh the eyes and rinse the surface of the eye. An eye wash does not add moisture in the same way as a lubricating eye drop, but washes away particles. If you experience a dry sensation that primarily requires moisturising, a lubricating eye drop is more appropriate. If symptoms such as redness, pain or blurred vision persist, do not use the eye wash to mask them, but seek advice. A professional can advise whether rinsing, moisturising or another approach is appropriate for the symptom.
It is best to use the eye wash after you have removed your contact lenses, unless an eye care professional advises otherwise. Lenses can trap fluid or particles, making it less suitable to rinse whilst wearing them. Do not use Avizor Eyewash to clean, store or re-moisten contact lenses; for this, use contact lens products suitable for your lens type. If you experience symptoms such as redness, pain, blurred vision or irritation, remove your lenses and seek advice. Do not reinsert the lenses whilst the symptoms persist. The eye wash is intended for rinsing the eye itself, as part of eye hygiene, and is separate from contact lens care. Your contact lens specialist can explain how best to combine the two.
No. Eye drops are usually administered into the eye in small quantities. An eye wash uses more liquid and is designed to rinse the surface of the eye via a small bath.
Eye drops and eye washes therefore serve different purposes. Which option is appropriate depends on the symptom, the cause and the advice of an eye care professional.
Yes, usually. Remove your contact lenses before using the eye wash, unless your eye care professional has specifically advised otherwise. This allows the liquid to rinse directly over the surface of the eye and prevents particles from becoming trapped in or under the lens. If you experience symptoms such as redness, pain, blurred vision or irritation, remove your lenses and seek advice. Do not reinsert the lenses if the symptoms persist. Removing the lenses before rinsing is part of the hygienic use of the eye wash. If you wish to know whether a different approach is appropriate in a specific situation – for example, with certain lenses or symptoms – your contact lens specialist or ophthalmologist will provide advice tailored to your needs.
Follow the instructions for use on the packaging and the advice of your eye care professional. The product is intended for daily eye hygiene, but using it more frequently is not necessarily better. If you find that you need to use the eye wash frequently due to symptoms, it is advisable to have the cause assessed. Persistent irritation, dryness or redness may require a different approach or professional advice. You should therefore use the eye wash as part of your eye hygiene routine and not to suppress recurring symptoms. Clean the eye wash after each use and store the bottle according to the instructions on the packaging. If there is a foreign object in the eye that won’t come out, in the event of chemical exposure, or if you experience pain or blurred vision, immediate assessment by a professional is required.
Avizor Eyewash is an isotonic, buffered aqueous solution containing 0.00005% polyhexanide. Isotonic means that the salt concentration is suited for use around the eye; buffered means that the pH remains within an appropriate range, close to that of natural tears. The low concentration of polyhexanide helps to ensure the shelf life of the multi-dose bottle. Always check the packaging for the current composition, expiry date and shelf life after opening. Use the product hygienically: do not touch the bottle opening or the eye cup unnecessarily, and clean the cup after use. This ensures the solution remains as clean as possible throughout its shelf life. If you have any questions about the composition in relation to a sensitivity or a specific situation, your eye care professional will provide an explanation tailored to your needs.
Store the bottle according to the instructions on the packaging. Keep the cap tightly closed when not using the product and do not touch the bottle opening with your fingers, eyes or skin. Clean the eye wash cup after each use and allow it to dry thoroughly. Store the bottle in a clean, dry place, away from other products. Do not use the product after the expiry date and also take note of the usage period after opening; if necessary, note the opening date on the bottle. Do not use the solution if it appears cloudy, discoloured or otherwise abnormal, or if the packaging is damaged. This will ensure the eye wash remains hygienic and that the solution remains suitable for rinsing the eye within its usage period.
