REFRESH® REPAIR promotes healing of the cornea and conjunctival epithelia, and improves visual performance in Dry Eye patients.
HELP HEAL YOUR PATIENTS’ DRY EYES.
refreshbrand.com/doc |*HA is an inactive ingredient.
Repairs the eye’s dry, damaged corneal
epithelial cells, restores essential moisture
to the tear film, and coats with a protective
shield to maintain cell health so the ocular
surface can function properly.
REFRESH® REPAIR is clinically proven to treat
the signs and symptoms of Dry Eye while
delivering improved visual performance in
Dry Eye patients.

Study design: Three-month, multicenter, double-masked, randomized study in patients with Dry Eye Disease (n=305). Patients were assessed at baseline and at all follow-up visits (days 7, 30, 60, and 90). The primary effi cacy variable was the change from baseline in OSDI score at Day 90. The primary effi cacy
analysis was performed for the ITT population using a strategy of combined noninferiority and superiority tests. The primary effi cacy endpoint was met.1

REFRESH® REPAIR Helps Promote Healing of the Cornea andConjunctival Epithelia and Signifi cantly Relieves Dry Eye Symptoms1
A visual disturbance questionnaire distributed after patients used REFRESH® REPAIR for seven days revealed that:
Improves Clarity of Vision1
70% of patients reported no blur when the drop was fi rst applied
70% of patients said the thickness of the drop is just right
85% of patients reported no blur after less than fi ve minutes of application

Organic Osmolyte-related Osmolality (mOsm/kg)
Organic Osmolytes vs. Salt in Artificial Tears2
WHY?A dry eye is a salty eye. In other words, it has a higher tear film osmolarity. Excess salt in the tear film causes
epithelial cells to lose water and volume leading to a higher salt concentration, which if left untreated, can lead to inflammation and cell damage. To restore volume, these salt-stressed cells will take in organic osmolytes.
Water returns to the cell, internal salt levels return to normal, and cell volume is restored.
FACTAll artificial tears have salt, but those low in salt and
rich in organic osmolytes can better protect the eyes against the damage from hyperosmolar tears.
