An exciting new product recently released called "Tears Again" is a very soothing eye drop or
water based gel that works well for artificial eye wearers. As a thicker viscosity eye drop,
"Tears Again" provides longer relief for dry eye problems than regular
artificial tears, the gel is especially useful at bedtime.
To use the gel, pull down the lower lid and apply a small amount (one eight inch) of gel to the
inside of the lower eyelid. Because of the active ingredient, Carboxymethyl Cellulose, a feeling of
immediate cooling comfort is experienced upon application. "Tears Again" drops are packaged in a half once,
15 cc bottle; the gel is available in an one eighth ounce tube.
Apply a few
drops of Opti-Soak to your prosthesis before inserting and it will feel much
more comfortable than using plain water. Opti-Soak is Ph balanced and will
not burn the socket upon insertion. Package in a 4oz. bottle, Opti-Soak also
disinfects the prosthesis if stored overnight.
The use of the products discussed above can be very helpful when circumstances deem their
use.  We believe it is a good idea to have a few of these products available for whenever
the need arises.
