Refresh Plus

Dry eye can be caused by a variety of triggers, including physiological, behavioural, and environmental factors. Normally, eyes are kept moist by tears, which play an important role in lubricating the eyes and protecting them from infections. Fortunately, lubricating eye drops are available to help relieve dry eye symptoms.

Refresh Plus eye drops are formulated to soothe everyday dry eyes and ease the discomfort associated with contact lens use. Refresh Plus contains electrolytes present in natural tears, helping to maintain tear balance. The preservative-free formula reduces the risk of irritation caused by preservatives. Refresh Plus can be used while wearing contact lenses and is available in convenient single-use vials.

Custom lens specialist Dr Jillian Campbell of Richard Lindsay and Associates said the Meridia Pro has helped her “put more of a focus on managing dry eyes and we’re seeing more patients come back because they want those scans to see if their treatment has been working”.

“I love using meibography to take photos of the glands and then the [Meridia Pro] generates these excellent grading reports that you can show to the patient. It’s great for educational purposes, showing what type of dry eye they have, and the reason for their symptoms.

“I then print the dry eye report, give it to the patient, and it includes their diagnosis, management and review schedule, and their instructions for management. When they come back in, I can compare it to their baseline scan.”

As an eye care professional, you are acutely aware dry eye can be an extremely difficult condition to successfully treat. Lacritec as a systemic approach to dry eye treatment, is ideally placed to augment other dry eye treatments and provide superior outcomes. Lacritec uniquely combines the benefits of concentrated fish oil, borage oil, and the proven and professionally researched flax seed oil.
