	CYNACON/OCuSOFT®, based in Richmond, Texas, announces availability of Tears Again® NIGHT & DAY ™ Lubricant Gel--the first lubricant gel available in the United States. Unlike ointments, Tears Again® NIGHT & DAY™ Lubricant Gel, packaged in 3.5 gm tubes, is water-based so it will not blur vision like ointments can.*

Nat G. Adkins, Jr., Chairman, states, "Using a patented gel process, Tears Again® NIGHT & DAY™ lubricant Gel provides prolonged corneal contact time without 'greasy' residue common to ointments. Dispersal of the gel in the eye is both immediate and rapid," Adkins continued.

Cynthia L. Barratt, President, further noted, "For most patients, twice-daily (morning and night) instillation is adequate. This would compare to the sometimes 4-6 times daily instillation rate required by some solutions. In fact, economy to the patient is a prime reason for doctors to consider Tears Again® NIGHT & DAY™ Lubricant Gel for their Dry Eye patients," Barratt concluded.

CYNACON/OCuSOFT® is a distributor of ophthalmic and dermatological products. The Company is known foremost for its OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub, a topical solution used for cleansing the periocular region in blepharitis conditions. The Company has relationships with a number of companies and sells products throughout the U.S. and Latin America.
