If all of the single dose is not used, discard the remaining product.

Its isotonic composition with tears allows it a mild decongestant and antiseptic action.

This solution should not be used for the maintenance of contact lenses.

Eye irritation is a benign and common condition.
Eyewashing is a therapeutic action that can be enough to relieve superficial irritation of the eye.
Indeed, the eye wash facilitates the elimination of foreign bodies that irritate the eye, such as sand, midges, dust, makeup debris ..., and helps to reduce the feeling of discomfort.
Other factors may cause irritation and may not respond to eyewashing. In this case, it is necessary to consult your doctor.
