Lacrigel Ophthalmic Solution 5gm

• Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant is used to provide hydration to dry eyes.
• It is also used to hydrate rigid contact lenses and lubricate artificial eyes.

• Thoroughly wash your hands before handling the lubricant.
• Exercise caution to avoid contact between the tip of the tube and any part of the eye or other surfaces.
• During the initial use, securely screw the cap down to pierce the tub's tip.
• Incline your head backward, directing your gaze towards the ceiling.
• Pull down the lower eyelid, positioning the tube upside down above the eye level. Apply gentle pressure to release a lubricant into the eye.
• Close the affected eye and apply fingertip pressure to the inside corner for 1 minute.
• If necessary, repeat the process for the other eye.
• Immediately replace and tighten the cap after each use.

Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant is for ophthalmic and external use only. 

Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant contains the following ingredient:

• Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (2%): It works as an artificial tear and maintains an optimal moisture balance on the eye's surface. It forms a protective layer on the ocular surface, shielding it from external irritants and relieving sensations like burning and irritation associated with dry eye syndrome.
