TLC Meibo Tears is an excellent dry eye drop containing sodium hyaluronate, vitamin E and phospholipid liposomes.
The non-newtonian properties of the hyaluronic acid ensure longer lasting retention of moisture between blinks and the low shear force required on blinking giving lasting smear free vision. The phospholipid liposomes improve the stability of the tear film lipid layer helping reduce evaporation in dry atmospheric conditions and when using computers etc.
Meibo Tears comes in a pliable multi-use more environmentally friendly, bottle that is convenient for the elderly and those with arthritis and other joint problems. It is isotonic, buffered to a pH of 7.2.
The preservative used is PHMB (Polyhexanide), which is much less irritating than the chlorhexidine, thiomerosal, benzalkonium chloride and phenoxyethanol used in some other drops.
Contact lens wearers may find it beneficial to put 1-2 drops in the lens prior to insertion and during lens wear.
