Looking ahead – prioritise your eyes
The Christmas and New Year break has disrupted many peoples’ routines, not least their sleep. At the top of many New Year’s Resolutions lists is a renewed determination to prioritise self-care and experts are emphasising the benefits of focusing on quality sleep and eye care.
A good night’s sleep is fundamental to overall health. Establishing a nightly routine that promotes relaxation and restful sleep is crucial for anyone looking to improve their health in 2025. Not only does quality sleep enhance general health but it also contributes to maintaining proper eye function as the eyes undergo repair overnight.

Symptoms including dryness and irritation are very common and are often exacerbated by inadequate sleep, creating a vicious cycle of discomfort. It is important to take proactive measures for eye health, particularly for those who spend prolonged hours in front of screens.
TheraTears® Overnight Restore eye drops are specially formulated with cross-linked hyaluronic acid to help restore and replenish the tear film in the eye overnight. Developed to provide relief to dry eyes, TheraTears® Overnight Restore eye drops hydrate and repair tired eyes throughout the night.

Simple steps like following the 20/20/20 rule, regular eye tests and using eye drops can make a significant difference.”
Anyone who has experienced broken sleep caused by dry eye symptoms knows how frustrating and uncomfortable it can be and how it impacts on the rest of the day. TheraTears® Dry Or Tired Overnight Restore eye drops contain hyaluronic acid to repair, restore and protect the eye’s surface while sleeping.
Prioritising sleep and eye care this year is an integral part of self-care. By incorporating simple but powerful habits such as maintaining a sleep schedule, reducing screen time before
