More About NovaTears + Omega-3 Eye Drops

NovaTears + Omega-3 is a preservative-free, phosphate-free and water-free lubricating eye drop for evaporative dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction. It builds on the NovaTears formula by adding plant-derived omega-3 fatty acids to the perfluorohexyloctane base.

Support for the Tear Film's Lipid Layer

Many dry, gritty or tired eyes are evaporative — tears evaporate too quickly because the oily (lipid) layer is unstable. NovaTears + Omega-3 spreads easily across the eye and is designed to support the lipid layer and help limit excessive evaporation. Because it is water-free, no preservatives are needed. Compare it with the standard NovaTears or the wider dry eye range.

  • Preservative-free, phosphate-free and water-free
  • Perfluorohexyloctane with plant-derived omega-3
  • Designed for evaporative dry eye and MGD
  • Compact 3mL bottle

Important Safety Information

Do not use NovaTears + Omega-3 while wearing contact lenses. It is not intended for children under 18, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and you should allow at least 15 minutes between this and any other eye medication. Always read the label and follow the pack leaflet, including the discard-after-opening period.
