Indications 

Optrex Eye Wash is a product designed to help relieve eye irritation and discomfort. Optrex Eye Wash is primarily used for the following purposes: 

• Eye Irritation: Optrex Eye Wash can be used to rinse out irritants, such as dust, pollen, or foreign particles, from the eyes. This can help alleviate the discomfort and redness caused by these irritants. 
• Eye Infections: In some cases, a healthcare professional may recommend Optrex Eye Wash as a supplementary treatment for minor eye infections. It can help clean the affected area and promote healing. 
• Eye Fatigue: If you experience eye fatigue due to extended screen time, reading, or other activities, Optrex Eye Wash can provide relief by refreshing and soothing the eyes. 
• Dry Eyes: It can also provide temporary relief from symptoms of dry eyes. The saline solution in the eye wash can help moisten and lubricate the eyes. 
• Contact Lens Users: Some contact lens wearers use Optrex Eye Wash to rinse their lenses before inserting them into their eyes or soothe them after lens removal.
