THE HONGKONO TELEGRAPII, WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1989;

The Sun Attacks HERE

Strong warm sunshine is pleasant to the body but it i is hard on the eyes. The lead 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- 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 Opticians all over the world.
