Carbomer Eye Gel 10g
Eye Gel For Dry Eyes – Like Viscotear, Geltears
(Brand Supplied May Vary)
Carbomer Eye Gel 10g is a sterile eye drop used for the relief of dry eyes in people who do not produce enough of their own tears or because the tear film in the eye is unstable.
It belongs to a class of medicines called artificial tears. This medicine contains the main ingredient Carbomer. which works by forming a moist and lubricating film over the eye. The film stays on the surface of the eye for some time and is not washed off quickly.
If you wear contact lenses, you must remove them before applying this medicine and wait for at least 30 minutes before putting them back in.
If you are using other eye drops, do not use one immediately after each other. You must wait for at least five minutes between using each medicine. This is to stop the second medicine from washing the first medicine out of the eye. Carbomer. must always be the last medicine instilled into the eye.
Consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse during treatment with this medicine.
How to use
Place ONE DROP of Carbomer. Gel into each eye 3 to 4 times a day or as directed by your doctor, pharmacist or optician. If your eye condition persists please call your doctor, pharmacist or optician.
