The Sun Attacks HERE
Strong, warm sunshine is pleasant to the body but it' is hard on the eyes. The brilliant light causes eye-strain which, in turn, brings headaches and ageing lines. The hot, dust- laden atmosphere encourages. microbes, and dries up the natural moisture round the eyes, causing ocular.congestion and leading to all kinds of eye- trouble
Optrex eye lotion stops all this. Its regular use prevents strain, removes dust and germs, streng thens the eye muscles and keeps your eyes happy and healthy. Optrex is recommended by Doctors and Opticians all over the world.
