Dry eye drops launched by Moorfields but Overnight Vision Correction maybe better solution

Moorfields Pharmaceuticals have launched of Lubristil eye drops, a sodium hyaluronate eye lubricant for dry eyes but overnight vision correction contact lenses maybe a better solution for dry eye contact lens wearers.

Sodium hyaluronate is a pure natural polymer which is present in structures of the human eye. Its ‘viscoelastic’ properties mean it can easily be applied to the surface of the eye to provide a stable coating with lubricating and hydrating properties. This makes it suitable to treat any level of dry eye conditions which are characterised by impaired tear production.

But those who wear contact lenses are much more prone to dry eye problems. Contact lenses cause dry eye by soaking up moisture from the tear film to replace moisture lost from the contact lens to the environment - especially air-conditioning and central heating.

Overnight vision correction involves wearing custom designed overnight contact lenses which gentle reshape the eye while sleeping - correcting eyesight. This means that contact lenses are not needed during the day leaving the eye naturally moist and free to soak up oxygen all day long.
