Optrex Eye Wash 110ml Eye Bath Included

Optrex eye wash cleanses and soothes sore, irritated and tired eyes, and comes with the small plastic eye bath that makes it usable properly. It is balanced to the natural pH of tears, so it rinses dust, grit and minor irritants away without stinging. This is the 110mL bottle.

Why choose Optrex eye wash, and what is in it?

The most common question about this product is what is actually in it, so here it is plainly. Optrex eye wash contains water, hamamelis water (distilled witch hazel), boric acid, glycerin, borax and benzalkonium chloride. The witch hazel is the traditional soothing plant extract the brand is built on; the boric acid and borax form the buffer that holds the wash at the pH of natural tears; benzalkonium chloride is the preservative.

The eye bath is the part people discard and then wonder why the product underwhelms. Drops wet the surface; an eye bath actually flushes the eye. Rinse the bath first, part-fill it, tilt your head forward, seal it against the eye socket, then tilt back and open and roll the eye so the fluid reaches the whole surface. That is what removes grit from under a lid.

It is for everyday irritation, not injury. Dust, pollen, smoke, chlorine, a long day in air conditioning or in front of a screen. It is not a treatment for infection, not a substitute for irrigation after a chemical splash, and not a lubricating drop for genuine dry eye. Remove contact lenses before use, and note the discard-after-opening period on the pack.

Common uses

It earns its place after a dusty or windy day, in hay-fever season, after swimming in chlorine, and at the end of long screen sessions. Workshops and worksites keep it for the everyday grit that does not warrant an eyewash station. Households keep it because the eye bath makes it genuinely more effective than drops for flushing something out. For redness specifically, Visine constricts the surface vessels, and for genuine dry eye a lubricant such as Celluvisc replaces the tear film instead.
