You’re Probably Treating Dry Eyes the Wrong Way
Every day, thousands of Britons reach for soothing eye drops — yet hours later the dryness, burning and blur return.
The reason? Most “dry eyes” aren’t caused by lack of tears, but by rapid evaporation.
“Four out of five patients actually produce plenty of tears — they just evaporate too quickly.”
— Dr Helen Avery, Consultant Ophthalmologist
The Hidden Film That Protects Your Eyes
Every blink (about 15,000 a day) spreads a microscopic three-layer shield:
Mucin – anchors the film to your eye.
Aqueous – provides hydration.
Lipid – a natural oil barrier that locks moisture in.
When that lipid layer thins — from screens, air-con or contact lenses — your tears disappear in seconds.
DID YOU KNOW?
People working on screens lose up to 60 % of their tear stability in just four hours of use.

Why Standard Drops Don’t Fix the Problem
Most eye drops are water-based — they add moisture but fail to restore the oil layer.
Worse still, frequent rinsing can strip away your remaining lipids and preservatives can irritate the surface.

“It’s like trying to fix a leaking roof by pouring water on it.”
