Rubbish solution for irritated viewers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyewash

I believe this is a double definition.

'rubbish' is the first definition.
(both can mean nonsense)

'solution for irritated viewers' is the second definition.
(eyes are 'viewers' - things which view)

(Other definitions for eyewash that I've seen before include "rot?" , "Bunk" , "Optic solution to relieve irritation - rubbish!" , "Balderdash" , "Nonsense; cleansing lotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
