Oculeye from Vetis

Out here, you don’t have time for complicated treatments – or harsh chemicals that risk stressing your cattle even more. That’s why Oculeye by Vetis was created: a smarter, gentler way to support eye health and change how producers fight pink eye.

Oculeye is powered by hypochlorous acid, a remarkable natural chemistry produced by white blood cells as part of the body’s own immune response. In other words, this is biology working with biology. The result is a solution that is pH neutral, nontoxic and safe for both animals and people, yet highly effective at supporting recovery from irritation and infection.

Applied as a light, easy spray, Oculeye helps soothe irritated eyes, reduce redness and support healing, while also helping lower the risk of recurrence during high-risk seasons. No complicated protocols. No harsh residues. Just clean, gentle care your cattle tolerate well.

For cattle owners serious about herd health, productivity and animal welfare, Oculeye isn’t just another product – it’s a shift in approach. A modern tool for a costly, persistent problem.
