Delicate eyes endure the onslaught of a world of microbes that move unabated and virtually weightless throughout all environments.

Key Points: 
  • Delicate eyes endure the onslaught of a world of microbes that move unabated and virtually weightless throughout all environments.
  • Physical contact with the eye from simple touching and rubbing, to placing contacts represent only a fraction of the ways pathogens infest sensitive organs.
  • The dichotomy of a preservative-free eye solution in an environment contaminated with incomprehensible numbers of harmful pathogens is problematic and limiting.
  • In a world where, "first, do no harm" is sacrosanct, the preponderance of eye solutions contain caustic preservatives that damage epithelial cells.
