What is AEON?

AEON is a family of eye drops designed to support the health of your tear film.

 

Up to 75% of cataract patients suffer from dry eye disease1. A condition that alters the thickness and quality of the tear film, shifting the refractive power of the cornea by up to 2 dioptres and seriously affecting visual quality2.

 

That’s why we created AEON, a new eye drop family designed specifically for use before and after eye surgery, to aid your recovery and to optimise your vision after eye surgery.

 

At Rayner, we have been providing the best visual outcomes for patients since 1910, and we understand the challenges that can be experienced following eye surgery – AEON products were created specifically to help you with ocular surface disease, before and after surgery.

Before eye surgery

It is important to prepare your eyes for any eye surgery. Your eye surgeon may suggest using eye drops to treat dry eye in the lead up to your surgery. This helps the eye surgeon accurately take measurements from your eye and gives the best chance of achieving the vision you desire.

 

After eye surgery

It is perfectly normal to experience dry eye after eye surgery, in fact up to 75% of cataract patients suffer from dry eye and it is even more common after laser surgery. Surgery to the eye surface can temporarily damage the nerves that are important in regulating tears. You may experience a gritty sensation after surgery which is associated with dry eye and it can last a few months whilst the nerves regenerate.

"By treating the tear film pre-surgery, it is possible to reduce post-surgical symptoms and increase patient satisfaction."
