OptiChoice HA 0.2% Lubricating Eye Drops (10 mL)

Preservative-free artificial tear designed to hydrate and soothe dry, gritty eyes. Each drop contains 0.2% sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), a polymer that binds water and forms a protective, lubricating layer on the eye. HA’s multiple hydroxyl groups attract and retain moisture, effectively thickening and stabilising the mucoaqueous layer of the tear film so that tears coat the eye evenly. This gentle, phosphate-free formula delivers intensive moisture without stinging, making OptiChoice 0.2% ideal for sensitive eyes or frequent use (including during contact lens wear).

Key Benefits

• Intensive HA lubrication (0.2%) – Formulated at 0.2% sodium hyaluronate (2 mg/mL), the same strength as Hylo-Forte, to provide strong relief even for moderate-to-severe dry eye.
• Exceptional hydration – The HA polymer’s water-binding action stabilises the tear film and holds moisture on the eye. This means each drop stays in place longer than simple saline drops.
• Cushiony comfort – OptiChoice’s high-viscosity, muco-adhesive gel forms a thick protective layer. This lubricating film cushions the cornea and lids, reducing friction on blinking.
• Ultra-gentle formula – Completely preservative- and phosphate-free to minimise irritation. It soothes without burning or sting, making it safe for sensitive eyes, healing post‑surgery, or chronic use.
• Contact lens compatible – Suitable for use with soft or hard lenses (follow your practitioner’s advice on lens wear).
• Advanced dispenser – The pump-style multi-dose bottle allows easy single-handed dosing while maintaining sterility, so you get a precise, hygienic drop every time.

How It Works

• Water-binding polymer: Hyaluronic acid’s molecular structure holds many water molecules. By binding moisture, HA “thickens and stabilizes” the natural tear film, helping to restore a smooth, protective tear layer on the eye.
• Muco-adhesive lubricant: The viscous HA gel adheres to the eye’s surface. Its non-Newtonian, gel-like properties create a cushioning layer that spreads evenly across the cornea, reducing shear forces when you blink. This mimics the natural mucus layer of the tear film and protects against dryness.
• Long-lasting relief: Because OptiChoice’s HA layer is so water-retentive, each application provides extended relief. It rehydrates the ocular surface and slows tear evaporation, keeping eyes comfortable longer than basic drops.

Usage Guidelines

• Instil 1–2 drops in each eye as needed, especially when eyes feel dry or tired (typically 3–6 times daily for chronic dry eye). Follow the package directions.
• Contact lens wearers: It can be used during lens wear. If lenses cause discomfort after instilling, remove and reinsert lenses per your eye-care provider’s instructions.
• Keep it clean: Do not touch the dropper tip. Replace the cap after use and store the bottle at room temperature. Each multi-dose bottle remains sterile; use it within the recommended period after opening (typically 6 months).
