Carboxymethylcellulose is an artificial tear substitute used to lubricate dry eyes, providing temporary relief from burning, irritation, and discomfort due to dryness. It also lubricates and re-wets soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses, alleviating dryness and irritation associated with lens wear.
For dry eyes, instill 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed. For lubricating contact lenses, apply 1 to 2 drops to each eye while wearing the lenses, as needed or directed by your doctor. Blink several times after application. Consult your doctor if unsure.
Store at or below 25°C and keep out of children's reach. Avoid touching the container tip to any surface or eyes, and replace the cap after each use. Do not use the drops after the expiry date or 30 days after opening.
Possible side effects include visual disturbances, eye discharge, redness, irritation, burning, discomfort, eyelid swelling, and itching. Consult your doctor if any of these effects are bothersome.
