Strong sunlight puts a heavy strain on your eyes. Unconsciously you screw-up your features to protect your eyes, and before you know where you are, ageing lines and crowsfeet have formed. The hot atmosphere encourages microbes, which get in under your lids, and 'dries up the natural moisture round the eyes. That is the way that ocular congestion begins, leading to all kinds of eye-troubles.
Let Optrex Eye Lotion protect your sight. Used regularly, this pleasant soothing lotion will relieve the strain, remove dust and germs. strengthen the
eye muscles
and keep your· eyes fresh. clear and healthy.
