Whether you have red, irritated eyes or red, itchy eyes the first step in finding a solution is sorting out the underlying cause.

Red, irritated and itchy eyes are not all the same. Your eye problem can have many causes from an allergic reaction to a late night or swimming.

So how do you know which product will provide the best solution?
Understanding the cause of your eye redness or itchiness, is key to effective treatment. If you’re unsure of the cause, the first stop should be your pharmacy where professional advice and Pharmacy Only treatments are available.

RED, IRRITATED EYES NEED CLEAR EYES^TM
Causes of red, irritated eyes include sun glare, wind, swimming, reading (and other close work), as well as irritation from contact lenses.
The active ingredient in Clear Eyes^TM works as a vasoconstrictor to immediately reduce unsightly red blood vessels, remove redness and brighten eyes for up to 8 hours.¹ There is also a moisturising action to provide longer, soothing relief and improve eye comfort.

ITCHY, RED EYES NEED CLEAR EYES^TM – ALLERGY
Red, itchy, inflamed eyes are usually caused by allergens in the air so you’re more likely to have this problem during hay fever season, or warm, dry, windy weather. Causes may include pollen, mould spores, pet hair, house dust
mites and irritation.

If this sounds like you, the triple-action formula in Clear Eyes^TM – Allergy will immediately remove redness, soothe and moisturise. These eye drops clear away the mucus that builds up in the eyes and help relieve itching associated with exposure to airborne allergens.

Clear Eyes^TM and Clear Eyes^TM – Allergy are only available in pharmacies. The brand has a 20-year history in New Zealand as a trusted eye care solution, which explains why it is the number 1 selling eye drop in pharmacy.²
