About Clear Eyes
Clear Eyes is an eye drop brand for redness and dryness, launched in 1963 and advertised for decades by the actor Ben Stein in a deliberately monotone delivery that became the brand's signature. Prestige Consumer Healthcare acquired it in 2014, and the drops work by constricting the small blood vessels on the surface of the eye.
