AEON Protect Plus Eye Drops

Rayner AEON Protect Plus Eye Drops 10ml | Before And After Eye Surgery AEON Protect Plus is a preservative-free eye drop developed by ophthalmic surgeons specifically for patients before and after eye surgery, as well as anyone managing moderate to severe dry eye more generally. It's built around cross-linked sodium hyaluronate at 0.3%, a more advanced form of the hyaluronic acid found in standard lubricating drops, designed to hold onto moisture on the eye's surface for longer. Dry eye is common before procedures like cataract surgery, and AEON Protect Plus is marketed as the only eye drop specifically indicated for use both before and after eye surgery, making it a drop your surgeon or optometrist may already have recommended as part of your pre- or post-operative care. It's also suitable for anyone wearing contact lenses, so there's no need to remove them before applying a drop. Key Features: Cross-linked sodium hyaluronate (0.3%). A more advanced form of hyaluronic acid, designed to hold more water and provide longer-lasting lubrication than standard hyaluronate drops. Indicated before and after eye surgery. Positioned by the manufacturer as the only drop specifically suited to both stages of surgical eye care. Preservative and phosphate free. Uses a specially designed sterile dropper bottle rather than a chemical preservative, reducing the risk of irritation with regular use. Compatible with contact lenses. Can be used without removing lenses first. Convenient 10ml dispenser. A small, easy-to-use squeeze bottle for everyday carrying and use. How AEON Protect Plus Works AEON Protect Plus relieves dry eye through the combined action of its key ingredients. Cross-linked sodium hyaluronate is chemically modified so that its molecules link together, creating a denser, more viscous gel than standard (non-cross-linked) sodium hyaluronate. This structure allows it to hold more water and resist being washed away by blinking, giving longer-lasting lubrication across the eye's surface. Mannitol is included to help protect the eye's surface cells from oxidative stress, while amino acids support the health of the cornea. Phosphate-free buffering agents help keep the formula gentle, reducing the risk of irritation that phosphate-containing drops can sometimes cause. Together, these ingredients are designed to support the eye both before a surgical procedure, when the ocular surface needs to be in the best possible condition, and afterwards, when it's recovering and more vulnerable to dryness and irritation. Ingredients Active ingredient: Cross-linked sodium hyaluronate 0.3% Other ingredients: Mannitol, amino acids, phosphate-free buffering agents Free from: Preservatives, phosphates How to Use Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
