Lacrifresh Moisture are moisturising eye drops for all contact lens wearers and non-contact lens wearers. Read more
Avizor Lacrifresh Moisture are moisturising eye drops containing 0.10% hyaluronan (sodium hyaluronate), a naturally occurring, moisture-binding substance. They form a stable, even tear film that keeps the eyes moist and comfortable for longer, even in dry or demanding conditions. Lacrifresh Moisture thus relieves dryness, tiredness or a burning sensation without blurring vision. The drops are suitable for both contact lens wearers and non-wearers and are often recommended for use with ortho-k lenses and scleral lenses to provide extra comfort. You can use them several times a day.

Result: less dryness, less irritation, more wearing pleasure.
Also particularly suitable for non-contact lens wearers with dry eyes (e.g. due to screen use, dry air or allergy).
May be used as often as needed.

Lacrifresh Moisture is a moisturising eye drop containing 0.10% sodium hyaluronate. The drops are intended for people who occasionally experience dry, tired or irritated eyes due to environmental factors. The sodium hyaluronate forms an even tear film and keeps the eye surface moist for longer, which reduces friction between the lens, cornea and eyelid. The product moisturises the surface of the eye but does not automatically treat the cause of dry eyes; these may be related to the tear film, spending a lot of time in front of a screen, dry air, medication, age, contact lenses or the eyelids. Use the product in accordance with the instructions for use and the advice of your eye care professional. If symptoms persist, it is advisable to have the cause assessed.
You use Lacrifresh Moisture to moisturise the surface of the eye if it feels dry, tired or gritty. The drops can form part of your daily eye care routine, for example when dealing with dry indoor air, screen time, wind or contact lens wear.
Do not use this product to treat infections, allergies, eye injuries or unexplained symptoms. If you experience pain, persistent redness or changes to your vision, seek professional advice.
0.10% refers to the concentration of sodium hyaluronate in the formula. Sodium hyaluronate is often used in moisturising eye drops due to its water-binding properties. A lower concentration may be preferable for users seeking a lighter moisturising drop. A higher concentration is not automatically better; the appropriate concentration depends on the condition, the condition of the eye’s surface, contact lens use and personal sensitivity. Within the Lacrifresh range, Moisture at 0.10% is the lightest variant, whilst the OcuDry variants at 0.20% and 0.30% have a higher concentration to address a more pronounced feeling of dryness. In practice, you can choose the variant that suits the degree of dryness. The eye care professional will advise the user on which concentration is appropriate.
These eye drops are intended to moisturise the eyes in cases of occasional dryness or a feeling of tiredness in the eyes. They can provide relief in cases of mild or temporary dryness. In the case of recurring or persistent dry eyes, it is advisable to have the cause assessed. If dry eyes persist after a few weeks of self-care, consult an optician, optometrist or ophthalmologist. Contact lens wearers with a red eye should seek advice sooner rather than later. The eye drops relieve the dry sensation but do not address the underlying cause. If symptoms persist, a different approach may be needed, such as taking breaks from screen time, paying attention to your surroundings, switching to a different lens, or using a different type of eye drops. The professional will determine what is most suitable for the user’s situation.
No. The drops can moisturise the surface of the eye and help reduce a dry sensation, but they do not cure dry eyes. Dry eyes can have several causes, and sometimes additional advice or a different approach is needed. This might include taking breaks from screen time, minimising exposure to dry air, eyelid care, customised contact lenses, a different wearing schedule or a different type of eye drops. The eye drops relieve the dry sensation, but do not address the underlying cause. If the symptoms recur frequently or persist, have your eyes, the tear film and, if applicable, your contact lenses assessed by an optician, optometrist or ophthalmologist. Based on this assessment, appropriate advice can be given on how to manage the symptoms of dry eyes.
Lacrifresh Moisture contains 0.10% sodium hyaluronate and is designed to address occasional dryness caused by environmental factors. The Lacrifresh OcuDry variants (0.20% and 0.30%) contain a higher concentration of sodium hyaluronate, combined with glycerine, and are preservative-free; these are designed to address mild to moderate and moderate to severe dryness, respectively. Which variant works best varies from person to person and depends on the surface of the eye, the tear film, contact lens use, the environment and personal preference. In practice, you can choose the variant that suits the degree of dryness and the user’s sensitivity. The contact lens specialist or optometrist will advise the user on which variant is best suited to their symptoms and circumstances.
Avizor states that Lacrifresh Moisture can be used by people who wear contact lenses and those who do not. However, always check the label and follow the advice of your contact lens specialist, as not every type of drop or situation is the same. If in doubt, remove your lenses before applying the drops and wait before reinserting them, following the advice on the packaging or from your specialist. For soft lenses, a moisturising drop may be beneficial if the lens feels dry; for RGP lenses, the lens’s own cleaning and storage solution is still required. With scleral lenses, extra care is needed with the filling solution, which is usually sterile, preservative-free saline or a specific filling solution. Therefore, only use the drops with special lenses as advised by your contact lens specialist.
This depends on the instructions on the label and the advice of your contact lens specialist. Some moisturising drops are suitable for use with soft contact lenses, whilst others are best used without lenses in.
If you wear soft lenses and frequently experience dryness, be sure to discuss the type of lens, wearing time and environment. Sometimes the solution lies not only in eye drops, but also in a different lens or a different wearing schedule.
The same applies to RGP lenses: follow the label instructions and the advice of your contact lens specialist. A moisturising drop can sometimes be helpful if your eyes feel dry, but not every drop is suitable for every type of lens or every routine.
Do not use eye drops as a substitute for RGP cleansers, conditioners or storage solutions. Specific contact lens products are required for these purposes.
With scleral lenses, extra care must be taken with solutions. The solution used to fill the lens well before insertion is usually sterile, preservative-free saline or a specific scleral lens filling solution. Ordinary eye drops are not automatically intended for this purpose.
When using Lacrifresh Moisture with scleral lenses, do so only on the advice of a contact lens specialist. Also ask whether the drops should be used before, during or after wearing the lenses.
Lacrifresh Moisture is often used in conjunction with ortho-k lenses and scleral lenses. With ortho-k, the drops can help ensure a comfortable start to the day following the overnight reshaping of the cornea. With scleral lenses, the drops help maintain comfort during longer periods of wear. Please note: the solution used to fill the lens pocket of a scleral lens before insertion is usually sterile, preservative-free saline or a specific filling solution; ordinary eye drops are not automatically intended for this purpose. You should therefore discuss their use with your contact lens specialist when using ortho-k or scleral lenses, and ask whether the drops are suitable for use before, during or after lens wear. Do not use the drops as a substitute for the prescribed cleaning and disinfection of the lenses. The specialist will determine whether and when the drops fit into your routine.
Follow the instructions for use on the packaging or the advice of your eye care professional. Do not use more frequently than necessary. If you need to use the drops frequently, it is advisable to discuss the cause of your symptoms.
Lifestyle and working conditions can also play a role in dry eyes. These include taking breaks from screen time, humidity levels, air conditioning, heating and the duration of contact lens wear.
Only use the product in accordance with the instructions for use and professional advice. Some eye drops can be used before bedtime, but consultation is required if you wear overnight contact lenses, have an eye condition or are using medicinal drops.
If you experience significant discomfort at night or upon waking, please discuss this with an eye care professional. You may need a gel, ointment, different eye drops or an assessment of your eyelids.
Do not use Lacrifresh Moisture as a means of masking redness. Red eyes can have various causes, such as dryness, irritation, allergy, infection, lens problems or damage.
That depends on the type of eye drops. Are you using medicinal eye drops, allergy drops, antibiotics, glaucoma drops or anti-inflammatory drops? If so, ask how best to combine them with Lacrifresh Moisture.
There is often a required waiting period between using different eye care products. Do not use products immediately one after the other without following the instructions.
For allergy symptoms such as itching, watery eyes and redness, moisturising eye drops can sometimes provide relief, but the product does not treat the allergy itself. In the case of clear hay fever symptoms or recurring allergic reactions, a different product or medical advice may be required.
Do not use the drops to mask severe swelling, pain or redness. Seek advice if symptoms persist or worsen.
Only use this product on children in accordance with the instructions on the packaging and, preferably, after consulting an optician, optometrist, GP or ophthalmologist. Children may find it harder to describe their symptoms and may sometimes need help with applying the drops safely. Professional advice is required if children experience pain, redness, sensitivity to light, discharge or changes in vision. A moisturising eye drop can relieve a dry sensation, but if symptoms in children are persistent or unclear, it is advisable to seek a professional’s assessment. Do not use the eye drops to mask symptoms in children. The professional can advise whether the eye drops are suitable for the child and how they can be used safely. This ensures that the eye drops are used responsibly, in line with the child’s age and the specific situation.
After eye surgery, only use products authorised by your treating practitioner. Following surgery, specific instructions may apply regarding eye drops, hygiene, timing and combinations with medicinal eye drops.
Therefore, do not use Lacrifresh Moisture on your own initiative after a procedure without the practitioner’s consent.
Check the usage period after opening on the packaging and, if necessary, note the opening date on the bottle. Do not use the product after the expiry date or after the specified usage period following opening. Eye products must be used hygienically: keep the dropper tip away from your fingers, eye, eyelid, eyelashes, skin and contact lenses, and close the bottle immediately after use. Discard the bottle if you have any doubts about the hygiene of the dropper tip or if the liquid looks different from usual. Store the bottle according to the instructions on the packaging, in a clean place and separate from other products. This ensures the solution remains effective throughout its shelf life. If you have any doubts about a bottle, replace it.
