Bausch + Lomb said that its Soothe Lubricant eye drops long lasting formula is clinically proven to soothe dry and irritated eyes. The new Soothe Xtra Hydration, for aqueous-deficient dry eye therapy, moisturizes and restores the deficient aqueous and mucin layers of the tear film to provide lasting hydration and comfort.
Soothe XP Xtra Protection, for evaporative dry eye therapy, re-establishes the lipid layer of the tear film to provide up to eight hours of relief.
Bausch + Lomb claimed that while ordinary eye drops simply add moisture that can evaporate quickly from the surface of the eyes, Bausch & Lomb Soothe XP Emollient (Lubricant) eye drops has an advanced formulation that includes the lipid restorative Restoryl. This is the formulation previously owned and marketed by Alimera Sciences.
