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 agcing lines. The hot, dust- Jaden atmosphere encourages microbes, and dries up the natural moisture round the eyes, causing ocular congestion and leading to all kinds of eye- troubles.

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 Opticiani ali over the world.
