Designed to Help

Opticare was designed by a pharmacist who understood from experience how tricky it can be to use eye drops. Packaged in bottles that are often rigid, small and fiddly to use, drops regularly go down the cheek rather than into the eye. So, he developed an aid that accurately targets the eye and helps you to squeeze the bottle. It can be used with many different bottle sizes and brands, so you only need to buy Opticare once. It is prescribed in hospitals and community settings across the NHS to support eye drop compliance and independent living.

We're pleased that a simple, well-designed aid like Opticare can make daily life a little easier for many people.

Colour Me Happy

As many people use more than one type of eye drop, it's handy to be able to easily distinguish between them using Opticare's bright colours.
