Optrex

Optrex is a well-known eye care brand in Great Britain, offering a wide range of products designed to relieve common eye concerns such as dryness, irritation, redness, tiredness, hayfever-related discomfort and certain minor eye infections.

The Optrex range includes moisturising eye drops, eye sprays, eye washes, allergy relief drops, soothing drops for itchy or irritated eyes, brightening drops, and selected medicated treatments for conditions such as bacterial conjunctivitis.

Optrex products are designed for adults and, in some cases, older children depending on the specific product. The range is suitable for people experiencing everyday eye discomfort caused by screen use, pollution, allergens, dry air, tiredness or minor irritants.

Optrex focuses specifically on targeted eye care, with products created to address different needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. The range includes both everyday comfort products and pharmacy-style treatments for more specific eye concerns.

For dry and tired eyes, the range includes products such as Optrex Actimist Eye Spray and Optrex Double Action Moisturising Drops. These are designed to help restore moisture, support the tear film and provide lasting comfort.

Optrex Actimist Eye Spray is designed to help relieve dry, tired, irritated or watery eyes. It is sprayed onto closed eyelids and works with the natural blink to help protect the eye's moisture barrier and reduce tear evaporation.

Some Optrex products, including selected dry eye solutions, are suitable for use with contact lenses. Suitability depends on the individual product, so the packaging and label should always be checked before use.

Optrex Hayfever Relief and Optrex Allergy Eye Drops are designed to relieve itchy, watery, red eyes caused by hayfever and other allergic triggers. These products contain sodium cromoglicate and are intended to help manage allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.

Optrex Bloodshot Eye Drops are intended for the temporary relief of redness caused by minor eye irritations. They are commonly used when eyes appear red and uncomfortable due to factors such as dust, smoke, chlorine or general environmental strain.

Yes. The range includes Optrex Infected Eye Drops and Optrex Bacterial Conjunctivitis Eye Ointment, both containing chloramphenicol for the treatment of acute bacterial conjunctivitis. These products should always be used according to the label and pharmacist guidance.

Optrex covers both. Some products are designed for treating specific symptoms or conditions, while others support everyday eye comfort, hydration and cleansing, especially for people exposed to screens, dry indoor air or urban environments.

Modern habits and environments often place extra strain on the eyes. Long periods of screen use, air conditioning, central heating, pollution, dust and reduced blinking can all contribute to dryness, irritation and discomfort, making supportive eye care part of many people's daily routine.

Yes. The range includes Multi Action Eye Wash, designed to gently cleanse and refresh tired, itchy or uncomfortable eyes and help remove everyday particles or irritants from the eye area.

Medical advice should be sought if symptoms are severe, prolonged or worsening, or if there is pain, light sensitivity, changes in vision or significant redness that does not improve. An optician, doctor or pharmacist can advise on the most appropriate next step.

The purpose of the range is to help maintain comfortable, healthy-looking eyes through targeted, practical solutions for common eye concerns. The brand combines everyday care with condition-specific support, making eye health easier to manage at home and on the go.
