What to check before choosing a dry-eye product.
Use the product guide to compare comfort options, read labels carefully and know when a clinic, optometrist, pharmacist or GP is the safer next step.
Match the product to the symptom
Dryness, watery eyes, eyelid irritation, screen strain and contact-lens discomfort may need different kinds of support.
Symptom fitRead ingredients and instructions
Check whether the product suits lens wear, night use, eyelid hygiene, sensitive eyes or repeated daily use.
Label checkLook for recognised suppliers
Choose clearly described products from recognised suppliers and check availability, device marking and usage guidance where relevant.
Supplier checkAsk for advice when symptoms persist
Pain, redness, light sensitivity, discharge, sudden vision change or worsening symptoms should be assessed promptly.
