Frequently asked questions

It soothes irritation, burning, and discomfort associated with dry eye conditions caused by factors like low tear production, infrequent blinking, and environmental conditions. It can also assist with lens insertion and comfort.
Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is effective when used as prescribed by your doctor. Continue using it even if symptoms improve to prevent recurrence or worsening of your condition.
For dry eyes, instill 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed. For lens lubrication, apply 1 to 2 drops to each eye with lenses in place, as directed. Blink several times after applying the drops, and consult your doctor if unsure.
Store at or below 25°C and keep out of reach of children. Avoid touching the container tip to any surface or eye, replace the cap after use, and do not use after the expiry date or 30 days post-opening.
Possible side effects include visual disturbances, eye discharge, redness, irritation, burning, discomfort, eyelid swelling, and itching. Consult your doctor if any side effects are bothersome.
