Lacri-Lube Preservative Free Eye Ointment (5g): Is used for the treatment of dry eye conditions and other eye conditions including; exposure keratitis, decreased corneal sensitivity, recurrent corneal erosions, keratitis sicca.
How does it work?
Lacri-lube eye ointment contains white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin (also known as mineral oil) and lanolin alcohols (also known as wool alcohols). These ingredients produce a transparent, lubricating and moistening film on the surface of the eyeball.
Lacri-lube eye ointment provides soothing relief from the symptoms of dry eyes, such as soreness, irritation or a gritty sensation. These may be caused by your eye not producing enough tears to keep the eye moist, or by things such as certain medical conditions or treatments. The ointment also helps protect the eyeball.
Lacri-lube eye ointment is particularly useful at night as it remains in the eye longer than drops.
What is it used for?
Dry eye conditions.
