Embrace summer fun without red eyes

While red eyes can often be associated with infections or eye strain, there are also different environmental factors that can cause red, irritated eyes – smoke, air pollution, sun glare, and swimming in the ocean or chlorinated pool water can all affect how eyes can look and feel.¹ These environmental irritants may become more impactful during summer as people spend more time outdoors and get involved in activities around water or smoky barbecues or campfires.

Itchy, watery, red eyes can also result from exposure to environmental airborne allergens such as grass, tree, or weed pollens that occur at different times of the year, depending on location and climate.² In New Zealand, the spring and summer months see a lot of allergy-triggering pollen in the air, which can be spread far and wide by New Zealand’s windy weather.³

Red, bloodshot eyes occur in response to irritants reaching the eye’s surface and causing dilation of the blood vessels located in the white of the eye (the sclera).^1,4 Decongestant eye drops, such as those containing naphazoline hydrochloride, can help relieve red eyes by acting as a vasoconstrictor – reducing the blood vessel dilation and mucous membrane swelling caused by minor eye irritations.¹

When faced with people who are seeking relief from red eyes caused by exposure to environmental irritants, consider recommending Clear Eyes™ Redness. It contains naphazoline hydrochloride 0.012% to clear red eyes, relieve minor eye irritation, and soothe and moisturise the eyes.
