FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I use it for everyday dryness, not just around surgery?

Yes. As well as use before and after eye surgery, it can relieve everyday dry eye from causes such as screen use, air conditioning, central heating or air travel. Its longer-lasting effect also makes it well suited to night-time use.

Is it suitable for contact lens wearers?

It is compatible with all types of contact lenses. If you also use other eye drops or medication, follow the patient information leaflet or ask your optometrist, and allow a short gap between different products.

How long can the bottle be used after opening?

The dropper is designed to keep the solution sterile without a preservative. The bottle can typically be used for up to 60 days after opening; always confirm against the in-use period and expiry date on your packaging and leaflet.

How is this different from standard AEON PROTECT?

This version uses cross-linked sodium hyaluronate for longer-lasting moisture and is intended for moderate to severe dryness and use around surgery. For mild to moderate dry eye, the standard AEON PROTECT may be the better fit. If you are unsure which is right for you, contact our pharmacy team at info@rightangled.com.
