The leading challenges for contact lens patient compliance are dry eye, allergy, foreign body sensation and inflammation.
These drops contain powerful ingredients to stimulate tear film production, counter-act irritation, halt allergies and reduce foreign body sensation. Homeopathic Calendula is known to support corneal health and is indicated for corneal abrasions and erosions. The clarifying “Thin Drop” is preservative free and used as often as needed to alleviate dry, red, itchy, irritated eyes and is also OK with all contacts. The “Thick Drop” reduces mechanical irritation. Homeopathic drops are safe for children and nursing/pregnant women.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
Both the Thin and Thick drops work similarly. They are a combination of some aspects of the Tear Stimulation Drops and the Allergy Desensitization Drop. In addition, they contain Calendula, which is indicated for corneal health and vitality.
DIRECTIONS:
Instill one or two drops in the affected eye(s) upon waking to facilitate lens removal. Use as often as needed throughout the day to alleviate dryness, redness or discomfort.

PRESERVATIVE:
COSMOCIL CQ:
Polyaminopropyl biguanide is a gentle, effective preservative, parabens-free, and does not release formaldehyde. Cosmocil CQ is an easy-to-use water soluble preservative that has a broad spectrum of activity. It acts against bacteria including the tough gram negative pathogens, yeast and fungi. Cosmocil CQ is a low odor preservative with zero VOCs and is stable in both heat and light. Recommended storage is 2 years. This preservative has low eye and skin irritancy and low oral toxicity. Originally formulated for the eye and contact lens industry, Cosmocil CQ may be used up to 1.5%. Accepted in the EU, USA, Australia, Canada, China and pending approval in Japan. This preservative acts upon the unprotected cell membranes of microorganisms and is not consumed during activity. Microorganisms do not develop resistance to it. Both short and long term studies show little to no toxicity. Cosmcocil CQ was challenge tested in a variety of formulations including make-up remover, mascara and a non-ionic lotion. It was able to control the challenge microorganisms initially and when rechallenged at 28 days. Tested over two generations, this preservative is non-teratogenic, non-carcinogenic with no negative effects to reproductive systems.
