Carbomer Eye Gel (10g Tube): 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.
THIS IS THE GENERIC EQUIVALENT OF VISCOTEARS & BRANDS MAY VARY.
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.
Always get advice from a healthcare professional before starting this medicine if the medicine is for someone who is:
- allergic or sensitive to or has had a reaction to any of the ingredients in the medicine
- a child
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.
Medicines interactions:
If you are taking more than one medicine they may interact with each other. This medicine is unlikely to have any important interactions. But speak to your pharmacist or doctor if you get any unusual symptoms while having this medicine with other medicines.
Possible side effects of Carbomer Eye Gel:
Most medicines can cause some side-effects but not everyone having the same medicine will get the same side-effects.
The following side-effects have been associated with people using Viscotears Liquid Gel:
- irritation in the eye
- sticky eyelid
- blurred vision - this happens for a short time when you put the gel into your eye
