The product is used in tear disorders, for the formation of a protective film under adverse external conditions, acute or chronic conjunctivitis, eye irritation, fatigue after long-term visual strain and eye wash.

Euphrasia officinalis (eyebright) is traditionally used in conjunctivitis associated with redness and burning of the eyes, increased tearing, swelling and redness of the eyelids or eyelid edges. The herbal ingredients of the solution are described in more detail in the section dealing with the effects of natural substances.

The solution also contains the lipid component LipoZoomTM – a fraction of purified soya lecithin (phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine). These substances naturally occur in tears and improve eye coverage with a protective film (prolonging the time the film is uninterrupted as it forms a lipid layer that prevents evaporation and disruption of the continuous tear film layer), which significantly improves patient comfort in tear disorders.

Phosphatidylcholine is a phospholipid, in organisms it is a major component of lipid membranes. The source of phosphatidylcholine is mainly soy, from which it is obtained together with lecithin and further isolated and purified by chromatographic techniques.
