How does this work? Surely the eyeball doesn’t get moisture if you spray on closed eyes?

How Actimist Works Optrex Actimist can provide help for various symptoms associated with reduced moisture in your eyes. They include dry, tired and itchy eyes. Optrex ActiMist repairs the eye's natural protective moisture barrier to reduce moisture loss. Actimist helps manage your eye health. The Causes of Eye Discomfort Dry, irritable or tired eye problems can occur for a number of reasons. In more recent times, one of the most likely reasons for dry eyes could be associated with the prolonged use of computers. This is because the amount of blinking is reduced when looking at a screen, which decreases tear distribution on the eye surface, also lessening the removal of irritants. However, other factors such as certain medications, hormonal changes, environmental factors (like hot air or high wind) and aging can all help to cause dry eyes. The Science behind Dry Eyes When you blink a tear film is spread across your eyes. One function of the film is to help reduce the evaporation of moisture. However, in many cases, a gap in the tear film develops, allowing moisture to evaporate from the surface of your eye. This can result in the feeling of dryness or itchiness. So, the disturbed tear film (which includes a disturbed lipid layer that helps to lock in moisture) needs to be repaired in order to help prevent further moisture loss from the surface of the eye. What Optrex Actimist Does Optrex Actimist* is sprayed onto closed eyes. It collects at the edges of your eyelids and when you open your eyes again, the liposomes in Actimist mix with the tear film on the surface of your eye. After more blinking, Actimist has spread across the surface, helping to improve the eye's lipid layer thickness and tear film stability Optrex Actimist provides instant relief for up to 4 hours. Some other Benefits Optrex Actimist is suitable for use with contact lenses (another leading cause of dry eyes). Also, unlike some eye solutions, Actimist can be used up to six months after opening before requiring replacement.

Is this an alternative to hypromellose solution drops i have been prescribed for dry eyes? this might be better because i struggle with the drops.

Hi there, Please consult a Healthcare professional for further advice to find a product that suit your needs.

For those suffering from blurred vision due to dry eyes, how long after spraying does it take to have an effect?

For me my dry eye is soreness of the eyelids which can feel like saw dust. I spray on Actimist on each eye and it has an almost immediate result and sooths the eyelids. This may not be the case for everybody.
