c) CAREFUL OF THE “TEAR BUBBLE”!

The quality of a soap bubble depends on the quantity and/or quality of the soap. If you puncture the sub-micron outer film of a soap bubble, the whole bubble will disappear.

  • Why is your tear like a soap bubble?
  • What about the outer tear film bubble?

About 95% of your tear is the middle watery part, about 3.5% is the sticky inner part, and only 1.5% is made up by an outer layer that floats like a thin oily film on top of the total tear and prevents your tear from evaporating.

The outer tear thickness fits 9000 times in the thickness of a Dime!! Without an optimum outer film, your tear will break up and evaporate!

Your eye and contact lens comfort is directly connected to the health of the thinnest part of your Tear Bubble.

As you can see not much needs to go wrong to have a major impact on your eye comfort!
