 or trigger a chemical response that potentially can damage eyes with extended use over time. Because it is preservative-free and formulated without harsh chemicals, Eye-Cept is safe for long-term use.

The conventional packaging of most other lens or rewetting drops also can cause problems as wearers reuse the same bottle hundreds of times over several months. Every time the bottle is opened and closed, even only briefly, bacteria and germs collect on its tip. When using the drops, the contaminated tip often accidentally touches some part of the eye or lid, creating the conditions for infection.

Eye-Cept comes in single-use vials that are opened only once then discarded after use, ensuring that each application is potent and minimizing exposure to bacteria and infection on the tip. A set of vials can be conveniently tucked into a briefcase or purse so users are more likely to carry the drops and use them consistently, as recommended by many eye care professionals.

Consequently, healthcare professionals often direct soft contact wearers to use a rewetting drop several times a day to maintain the film of tears that naturally protects the eyes. As with any additive patients apply to their eyes frequently, the drop's purity and non-irritating characteristics are important.

Eye-Cept Rewetting Drops have been formulated to promote overall eye health by maintaining the necessary moisture levels in a gentle, hygienic alternative to conventional rewetting drops. Long-term use promotes overall eye health and contact comfort.

Eye-Cept is being exhibited in the Optics Laboratory booth at the International Vision Expo West 2005, Booth #MS5105. Information on other Optics Laboratory health-conscious over-the-counter eye care products also is available, including MiniDrops(R) Eye Therapy, therapeutic lubricating drops for use with or without contact lenses, and OcuFresh(R) Eye Wash, a sterile eye shower for everyday use.
