·THE PROMISEThe eye works ten thousand times an hour.
The eye works ten thousand times an hour.
Modern life rarely returns the favour.
Drop Defence and Dropsept are two ophthalmic formulations from Zentiva. One protects the tear film against the daily pressures of screens, sun and dry air. The other safeguards eye hygiene with antimicrobial precision. Both are dispensed through Croatian pharmacies, with a leaflet, a medical-device label, and a clear use-case.
·THE PRESSURES
Six pressures on the modern eye.
The everyday surfaces and stimuli the eye was rarely engineered for. We design the formulation around the exposure, not the other way round.
8h+ daily
Screens & blue light
Long focus distances and reduced blink rates leave the corneal surface unprotected.
Featured pressure
spectral
Artificial lighting
LED and fluorescent spectra expose the eye to inputs it never evolved against.
UV-A · UV-B
Sun exposure
UVA and UVB stress the conjunctiva and accelerate long-term oxidative load.
outdoor
Sport & wind
Wind, perspiration and dust strip the lipid layer at high exposure rates.
ambient
Ozone & air quality
Ambient pollutants, ozone and fine particulates increase irritation and dryness.
·TWO FORMULATIONS
Protection. Hydration.
Antimicrobial care.

What Our Community Says
From licensed pharmacy partners across Croatia.
“I recommend Drop Defence to patients who spend long hours at screens. The preservative-free formulation is suitable even for sensitive eyes and contact-lens wearers.”
Mr. ph. Marina K.
Community pharmacist·Zagreb
“Dropsept fills a gap in our shelf for post-procedure ocular hygiene. Octenidine is a familiar antimicrobial — patients understand it, and the leaflet is clear.”
Mr. ph. Tomislav B.
Pharmacy owner·Split
“Two products with two clear roles — I appreciate that the brand does not try to do everything. Daily protection on one side, antimicrobial care on the other.”
Mr. ph. Iva P.
Optical centre lead·Rijeka
“Reliable Zentiva supply, sensible packaging, no unnecessary marketing. Patients comply because the application is straightforward.”
