Description
Overview
How does Artelac Rebalance Eye Care (10ml) treat chronic dry eye? Artelac Rebalance Eye Care is designed to address complex or persistent dry eye conditions by replicating the natural composition of human tears. The formula relies on a dual-action system. First, it contains 0.15% Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), a naturally occurring polymer that binds water to the eye’s surface to provide immediate hydration. Second, Artelac Rebalance Eye Care incorporates PEG 8000 (Polyethylene Glycol), a lubricant that acts as a film-former. This additional ingredient extends the residence time of the hyaluronic acid, ensuring the moisture remains on the eye surface for longer without blurring vision significantly. This combination effectively relieves the burning, gritty, and painful sensations associated with chronic tear deficiency.
Why is Vitamin B12 included in Artelac Rebalance Eye Care (10ml)? One of the most distinctive features of Artelac Rebalance Eye Care is its rose-pink colour, which is derived from Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin). This vitamin is not a dye but a functional ingredient known for its antioxidant properties. Vitamin B12 helps to protect the cells of the ocular surface from oxidative stress, which can damage the cornea in dry eye sufferers. Although the drops look pink, Artelac Rebalance Eye Care dissolves quickly upon blinking and does not permanently stain the eye or change vision colour.
How does Artelac Rebalance Eye Care (10ml) support tear film stability? Beyond hydration, a healthy tear film requires a balance of minerals. Artelac Rebalance Eye Care contains essential electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, and potassium) that mimic the natural salt balance of tears. By supplying these nutrients, Artelac Rebalance Eye Care helps to promote a healthy chemical environment for the cells of the cornea and conjunctiva, aiding in the restoration of the natural tear film physiology.
Who Is It For
Who is Artelac Rebalance Eye Care (10ml) suitable for? Artelac Rebalance Eye Care is suitable for adults and the elderly. Artelac Rebalance Eye Care is specifically indicated for individuals suffering from recurrent or persistent dry eyes caused by factors such as age, hormonal changes (menopause), or prolonged environmental stress (air conditioning, screen use). It is an ideal choice for contact lens wearers (both soft and rigid gas permeable) who experience discomfort during the day, as Artelac Rebalance Eye Care can be applied without removing the lenses.
Usage Instructions
How to apply Artelac Rebalance Eye Care (10ml) correctly? To ensure effective relief and hygiene, the correct instillation method is important.

Alternatives
Common alternatives to Artelac Rebalance Eye Care (10ml)? If Artelac Rebalance Eye Care is not suitable due to the ingredients or preservative system, common alternatives include:

Artelac Nighttime Gel: A thicker carbomer-based gel from the same brand, designed for overnight use to provide intensive lubrication while sleeping.
Systane Balance: Formulated specifically for Evaporative Dry Eye, containing lipids (oils) to repair the outer layer of the tear film rather than just adding water.
Blink Contacts: A gentle, basic lubricating drop designed specifically for rewetting contact lenses during wear, though less “rebalancing” than Artelac Rebalance Eye Care.
