Win an Optics Lab Prize Pack & Soothe Irritated Eyes this Summer!
If you’re anything like me, this time of year is hard on your eyes. Allergy season makes my eyes burn, itch, and turn horribly red. I also live in a climate where the average humidity is about 15%, so that doesn’t help, and my eyes feel dry even when the allergies make my eyes watery. I’m someone who deals with allergies from spring well into fall, and when you add that to the dry climate, I need eye drops basically year round. You can imagine how this puts a damper on barbecue season. I enjoy cooking out with the friends and family as much as the next person, but my allergies and the discomfort they cause my eyes can really take some of the fun out of these events. Finding products to help, without causing more pain, has always been a challenge, though…but Optics Laboratory has a great product that I’ll be using to help fight my allergy and dry eye irritation this season!
MiniDrops Lubricant Eye Drops are perfect for me. They come in sterile, single use vials. This is something I like for several reasons. One, they’re easily portable. Two, I’ve always worried about touching the bottle of eye drops to my eyes, for fear of contamination of the remaining solution. With these convenient single use vials, that’s no longer a concern! I’ve been carrying them in my purse, and I used them on a recent flight (air travel always dries out my eyes). My eyes feel far less irritated and dry, and all the irritated redness clears up after using MiniDrops. Also, unlike my once or twice a day prescription allergy eye drops, I can use MiniDrops multiple times a day. I stopped using allergy eye drops a while ago because, although they helped the allergy symptoms, they increased the dryness and that just made it not worthwhile.
In addition to MiniDrops, Optics Laboratory has an entire line of helpful products. For those of you who wear soft contacts, there is Eye-Cept rewetting drops. Like the MiniDrops, these come in single use vials, and will help lubricate your eyes and lenses when they begin to feel dry.
Optics Laboratory also offers OcuFresh Eye Wash. This product comes with an eye wash cup and vials of eye wash, which helps to alleviate irritation from things like salt or chlorinated water (making it perfect for trips to the beach or pool). Also, if get something in your eye, like dirt or an eyelash, this can help. Be sure to read the packaging instructions. I’ve been taking OcuFresh on road trips because we like to drive with the windows down and Colorado has a lot of dirt roads and frequently breezy weather! I’ve had dirt blown into my eye more than once, and had a day trip become… less fun… because of it. Now, with OcuFresh, I’m prepared!
All of these products are easily portable, making them perfect for first aid kits, purses, backpacks, and more. Plus, all of them are preservative free, which is awesome since preservatives can cause eye and skin irritation. Here’s a picture I took of one of the vials of MiniDrops. I placed it next to a Bic pen cap to give perspective of just how small and convenient they are!
Finally, Optics Laboratory also has a vitamin supplement designed to help protect your eyes, and ensure you’re giving your eyes adequate nutrition. If you’re like me, you probably don’t even think about your eye health when you hear “nutrition”, but there are vitamins and minerals that can help strengthen your eyes and protect your vision. OcuSave is designed to help give your eyes their best chance at lasting health, and it can prevent or slow the natural aging process that causes eye/vision degeneration. As is the case with any supplement, be sure to check with your doctor first. Not every supplement is ideal for every body.
Each of these products has an informative website provided by Optics Laboratory. Use the links below to learn even more about them!
Be sure to check out these great products. Whether you’re out grilling or swimming this summer, your eyes will thank you! Optics Lab is generously offering you a chance to win this same package of products, including the useful tote (ARV $50)! Open to US residents who are 18 and older. Ends 6/18/13. Good Luck!

What I like best about OcuFresh products is that they have portable eyewash, which comes in handy when you are by the pool or outside at a family BBQ.
Good evening. What I like best about the products is the single usage. I also wear contacts and will enjoy the rewetting drops. Thank you. Vicki.

I love the concept of individual vials! So convenient to throw in my purse. I normally wear contacts, but when my allergies hit (in the spring and fall) I just wear my glasses. I love all their products & I would get use out of pretty much all of them 🙂
