With allergy season in full swing in many parts of the US, that means dry eyes for many people. As a contact lens wearer on occasion, it can mean my eye feel like they need to be dug out with a spoon. (Sorry to be so graphic, but, hey, it’s how they really feel!)
I was sent several products from Optics Lab to try out and test. Optics Lab creates products with you comfort and vision in mind including:
- OcuFresh Eye Wash
- OcuSave Eye Vitamins
- Eye-Cept Contact Lens re-wetting drops
- MiniDrops eye lubricant
I found myself needing these drops a couple times recently. I have a feeling they will come in handy when the fire season gears up in fall as well. Each product from Optics Labs is useful for different issues that can arise from the eyes. The OcuFresh Eye Wash is made for getting rd of small irritants such as smoke or pollen in your eye, OcuSave Eye Vitamins can save your eyes from future problems like cataracts, Eye-Cept re-wetting drops really come in handy for the contact wearer and MiniDrops eye lubricant is great for those that suffer from issues such as chronic dry eye.
Pros:
The OcuSave Eye Vitamins were small soft-gels that were easy to swallow. I take a lot of vitamins a day, so having a small soft-gel to add in was great. Some of the pills I take are huge! I cannot speak for the effectiveness of them as I was only sent a 30-day supply. I used the OcuFresh Eye wash when I was attempting to BBQ on a warm day here and smoke got in my eye. They did not burn my eyes and I immediately noticed comfort again. I followed up with the MiniDrops to lubricate my eye again. Both products worked well and I am happy they are safe for the entire family. I rarely wear contacts as I find they bother my eyes with dryness and irritation. To test out the Eye-Cept drops, I placed my hope in them and went to work with contacts in. Towards the end of my shift, my eyes started to get irritated and itchy. I used the drops and found they helped take care of the problem almost instantly.
Cons:
I really see no cons to these products other than I was not able to see any benefits to the vitamins since I was given a small amount.
Verdict:
These are a must have for the summer! The drops are sanitary and one time use and fit right in a purse or beach bag for summer trips.
