New-look Clinitas Soothe is now re-sealable for 12 hours for better economy

Cambridge, April 2011

Clinitas Soothe is a natural, preservative-free eye drop with the UK’s highest concentration of a natural lubricant, sodium hyaluronate. It is available in sterile containers that are safe, convenient and easy to use. Each pack contains 20 individual units each of which can now be used throughout a 12 hour period. Each unit can be opened and re-sealed with confidence thanks to new data confirming that the solution does not support the growth of microorganisms that can cause eye infection. Each unit contains between 8 and 10 drops, sufficient for one day’s use. After removing the lid, it can be inverted and replaced to form a good seal which will not leak. This makes Clinitas Soothe highly economic to use.

Clinitas Soothe is a unique formulation which is dual acting, increasing and stabilising the tear film that coats, nourishes and protects the eye. Favoured by leading eye care professionals and hospitals it provides fast relief, stays in the eye for long-lasting comfort, is non-toxic and is suitable for contact lens wearers.Irritable eyes are at best annoying, at worst debilitating and can play havoc with personal, social and working life. Symptoms can include pain, gritty or burning sensations, blurred vision or watery eyes, contact lens intolerance with persistent discomfort and foggy appearance.
