Mermaid Tears

Active Ingredient

Glycerin 0.4%

Purpose

• Eye lubricant.

Uses

• To protect against eye irritation from salt water.
• To allow you to see like a mermaid under water.

Warnings

• This is a non-preserved eye drop improperly packaged in a standard eye drop bottle. Do not, if you love your corneas, allow the dropper tip to touch anything (even air).
• Do not use if solution changes color, becomes cloudy, or shows evidence of spontaneous carbonation.

Precautions During Use

• Objects under water are closer than they appear.
• This means sharks.

Directions for Use

Stop Use If

Your pupils change shape from round to vertical or horizontal slits.

• As a last resort, contact a Poison Control Center. Advise them that the active Inactive Ingredient is BOPE™, which is proprietary, may affect your genome, and is not in their database.

Storage
