Eyedrops (artificial tears) are used to moisturize irritated eyes, remove redness, or relieve the itching associated with allergies and colds. Both Borax Decahydrate EP/NF and Optibor EP/NF/3C are frequently added in small quantities to these products, to help control pH and retain moisture. Sterile saline solutions for contact lenses are often buffered with small quantities of these 20 Mule Team® Borax products, which are also included in lens rewetting drops that can make the lenses more comfortable to wear.
