Theratears Lubricating Eye Drops |
TheraTears Lubricant Eye Drops ‘osmocorrect’ the tear microenvironment, reducing the concentration of salt that can lead to ocular surface irritation and inflammation.

TheraTears is the only lubricant drop that not only corrects osmolarity, but also uniquely mimics the electrolyte balance of the human tear.CONTACT LENS CENTRE AUSTRALIA1800 125 023or contactlenscentreaustralia.com.au |
