ACTIONS/CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY |
| Fresh Eyes contains laboratory-tested and scientifically blended ingredients, including an effective vasoconstrictor which narrows swollen blood vessels and rapidly whitens reddened eyes in a formulation which also contains a lubricant and produces a soothing effect. Fresh Eyes also contains an ocular astringent (zinc sulfate) that precipitates the sticky mucus buildup on the eye often associated with exposure to airborne allergens, which helps clear the mucus from the outer surface of the eye. Fresh Eyes is a sterile, isotonic solution compatible with the natural fluids of the eye. |
