Tear Gel ()

Tear Gel Information:

Tear Gel (Carbomer) is an ophthalmic gel designed to provide long-lasting relief for individuals suffering from dry eyes, irritation, and discomfort due to insufficient tear production or environmental factors. Unlike traditional eye drops, Tear Gel has a thicker consistency that creates a protective barrier over the eye's surface, ensuring that moisture stays for an extended period. This extended moisture makes it particularly beneficial for individuals with more severe dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) or those exposed to wind, smoke, air conditioning, or prolonged screen time, contributing to eye dryness. Tear Gel contains carbomer, which is known for its moisturizing and lubricating properties. These ingredients mimic the natural tears produced by the body and help reduce symptoms of eye discomfort, such as burning, itching, and the sensation of a foreign body in the eye. The gel's thicker texture makes it ideal for use at night, providing overnight hydration and protection when tear production typically decreases during sleep.

Tear Gel Side Effects:

Tear Gel may cause side effects like all ophthalmic products, although most are mild and temporary. Common side effects include:
• A feeling of grittiness or increased tear production shortly after use;
• Mild eye irritation or stinging upon instillation, eyelid crusting;
• Temporary blurred vision after application due to the gel's thicker consistency

These side effects usually resolve within a few minutes as the gel spreads evenly across the eye's surface. However, in rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, such as:
• Changes in vision;
• Eye pain or discomfort that worsens over time;
• Severe or persistent eye irritation, redness, or swelling;
• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing

If you experience severe or prolonged side effects, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.

Tear Gel Directions:

For best results, follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or those specified on the product label. General directions for use include:
1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the product.
2. Shake the bottle gently if instructed by the manufacturer.
3. Tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
4. Apply a small amount of gel (typically one drop) to the affected eye(s) as directed.
5. Close your eyes gently and blink a few times to distribute the gel evenly.
6. Avoid touching the tip of the tube to any surface, including the eye, to prevent contamination.

If you use contact lenses, remove them before applying Tear Gel and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. If you use other eye care products or eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between each application. Store at room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry place. Keep away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. To avoid contamination, discard single-use vials after one application.

Do not use Tear Gel if you are allergic to carboxymethylcellulose, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid. Inform your doctor if you have:
• A history of eye infections or allergies;
• Recent eye surgery or injury;
• Severe or chronic dry eye symptoms that do not improve with artificial tears

If irritation persists or worsens, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
