Do you get headaches
at the end of the day ?. Do you feel "all in" at the end of the day's work-nervy, irritable, unable to concen- trate ? Ten to one it's your eyes thar are the whole cause of the trouble.
Your eyes never get a
moment's rest. All through the day they are hard at work, con- stantly focussing and re-focussing, concentrating on written and printed matter, often under artificial light and in a close, smoky atmosphere. Even when you relax they still have a gruelling time, exposed to the fast-moving lights of traffic, the flickering of a cinemas screen, the constant irritation of tobacco smoke.
There's one sure way to put an end to those recurrent head- aches-bathe your eyes with Optrex night and morning. This gentle tonic lotion soothes away soreness and tiredness, and cleanses the eyes of all impurities. Optrex gives your eyes a new lease of vigorous life, enabling you to tackle the hardest day's work without the slightest sensation of eyestrain.
