"Ectoin" based eye drops are non-prescription in Canada.   They are effective for mild to moderate ocular allergies and the common concurrent dry eyes. 

Ectoin is a natural molecule that helps protect cells from environmental stress, making it particularly useful in eye care products for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.  They provide both immediate relief from dry, itchy, or irritated eyes and also protection against allergens such as pollen, dust, and pet dander.

  • Natural and gentle, without harsh chemicals or preservatives.
  • Can be used frequently throughout the day without causing dependency.
  • Suitable for long-term use, unlike some medicated eye drops.

Ectoin stabilizes (mast) cell membranes and forms a protective barrier on the eye surface, which helps retain moisture and reduces inflammation.

mEYEspa offers three eye drops containing Ectoin.   They all also contain sodium hyaluronate which is fantastic for battling dryness.   All of these drops do not contain preservatives and have all shown to be very effective in our clinic.
