Viscotears Liquid Gel for Dry Eyes 10g

Why Choose Viscotears Liquid Gel for Dry Eyes?

Viscotears Liquid Gel 2.0 mg/g Carbomer 10g stands out for its unique formulation, which is designed to cling to the eye surface for extended periods, providing sustained lubrication. This means less frequent application compared to some other eye drops, offering continuous comfort throughout your day.

The active ingredient, Carbomer (polyacrylic acid) at 2.0 mg/g concentration, works by mimicking your eye's natural tear film. It helps to stabilise the tear layer and prevent rapid evaporation, making it highly effective for various dry eye conditions, including keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

At Weldricks Pharmacy, we understand the importance of clear vision and eye comfort. That's why we offer Viscotears Liquid Gel 10g, a trusted eye gel solution, with the convenience of free UK delivery on orders over £40 and excellent customer satisfaction, reflected in our 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating.

Application

1. Always wash your hands before applying Viscotears Liquid Gel.

4. Tilt your head backwards.
5. Rest one hand on your cheek and gently pull down your lower eyelid.

Note: Do not touch your eye or the surrounding area with the tip of the dropper as this may cause injury to the eye and contaminate the gel. Viscotears Liquid Gel is not to be administered by multiple users. Always read all product packaging and labels prior to use. Do not use Viscotears Liquid Gel later than four weeks after first opening.

Do Not Use Viscotears Liquid Gel if:

• You are allergic to Carbomer or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in the ingredients section).
• Not to be administered in children unless prescribed to do so by a doctor.

Things to Consider Before Starting to Use Viscotears Liquid Gel:

• If you wear contact lenses, you should take these out before you put the drops in your eyes. You should not put the lenses back in for at least 15 minutes.
• Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start to use Viscotears Liquid Gel if you have problems with your eyes apart from sore or dry eyes.
• If you are using other eye drops or eye ointment medicines, you should normally wait 5 minutes between treatments. Viscotears Liquid Gel should always be the last eye drops used.
• If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
• Viscotears contains cetrimide (as a preservative) which may cause eye irritation and is also known to discolour soft contact lenses. If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before using Viscotears and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in.
• Some people may find that their vision is blurred immediately after using Viscotears. If affected, wait until your vision clears before you drive or use machinery.
• If you experience eye pain, vision changes, irritation of the eyes, persistent redness, or if the condition worsens or persists, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
