Is It Safe to Spray We Love Eyes CALM Hypochlorous Acid Spray Directly on Closed Eyes? An Optometrist’s Guide to Healthier Lids and Lashes
Is It Safe to Spray the We Love Eyes CALM Hypochlorous Acid Spray Directly on Closed Eyes?
Why We Love Eyes CALM Eyelid & Eyelash Cleansing Spray Is a Game-Changer
1. What Is Hypochlorous Acid?
• Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring substance produced by our bodies to fight bacteria and inflammation. • It’s gentle yet effective, making it ideal for daily eyelid hygiene. 👀 • We Love Eyes CALM Hypochlorous Acid Spray is formulated to be safe for the delicate eyelid area, helping you maintain clean, healthy lashes.
2. Common Uses & Benefits of HOCl Sprays
• Cleansing and soothing: Helps remove bacteria and debris that can cause irritation.
• Quick to use: Perfect for busy lifestyles; just spray over closed eyes and go! ⏰
• Ideal for contact lens wearers: Gentle enough for sensitive eyes and compatible with most eye-care routines.
The Efficiency Factor
3. Direct Spray vs. Cotton Pad
• Spraying directly on your closed lids can feel more efficient since you’re not losing product to the cotton pad’s absorbency.
• Aim carefully: Keep a safe distance (about 6–8 inches) from your eyes, ensuring the spray lands where you need it.
• If you prefer a cotton pad: It's still a great option to control application, minimize overspray, and gently wipe off any debris such as morning crusties.

4. Best Practices for Using We Love Eyes CALM
• Always read the instructions: Different products may have varying directions for use. But you can spray We Love Eyes CALM directly onto closed eyes because it's pH balanced for eye care at a concentration of 0.012%.
• Close your eyes gently: No need to squeeze eyelids tight. You want the spray to reach all parts of the eyelids and eyelashes.
• Allow it to dry or pat softly: Lightly pat your lids with a tissue if needed; you can also let the product air dry.
• Monitor for irritation: CALM Eyelid & Eyelash spray does not sting. If you experience redness or stinging, discontinue use and consult your eye care professional.
5. When to Consult an Optometrist
• Persisting symptoms: If dryness, redness, or itching continues, schedule a visit with your optometrist. You might actually need a prescription eye drop.
• Contact lens wearers: Always ensure you’re following safe lens-care guidelines alongside using eyelid sprays.
• Individual sensitivities: Some may be more sensitive to HOCl sprays. Trust your own comfort level.
