description: ✔ Stock on hand — ships NZ-wide from Rose Optometry, Hamilton.Vita-POS — a preservative-free night ointment with vitamin AVita-POS is a night-time lubricating eye ointment containing retinol palmitate (vitamin A), supplied preservative-free. That last detail is the reason most people end up choosing it.Like any ointment, it stays on the eye for hours instead of minutes, which makes it the right tool for symptoms that are worst on waking, and for eyes that do not close fully overnight. Where it differs from a plain paraffin ointment is the absence of preservative and the presence of vitamin A, which has a recognised role in maintaining the health of the corneal and conjunctival surface. If you are using an ointment nightly and indefinitely, or preservatives irritate you, this is the sensible version to be on.The honest caveat, twice over. First, it blurs your vision — bedtime only. Do not use it and then drive, read or work.

Not a daytime product, and not for use before driving. Questions we get askedHow long will my vision be blurry? Several minutes. That is unavoidable with any ointment and is exactly why it goes in last thing at night.Can I use it with contact lenses in? No — take your lenses out first, and leave them out overnight unless we have fitted you specifically for overnight wear.How often can I use it? Follow what we have advised you. F…
