Description
Artelac Hpyomellose Eye Drops
Artelac Hypromellose Eye Drops provide effective relief from dry eyes, a dehydration of the surface of the eye because no natural tears are being produced. They contain hypromellose, a soothing solution which moistens the eye and gives tear-like lubrication to the eyes and eye lids for long-lasting relief, and can be used as often as required.
Artelac Hypromellose Eye Drops are suitable for people who wear contact lenses. Wearers of soft contact lenses should remove their lenses before applying the drops and should wait for at least 15 minutes before they insert them again. They contain the preservative cetrimide, so can be used by people who are hypersensitive to the preservative benzalkonium chloride.
Artelac Hypromellose Eye Drops can also be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Directions
- Unless your doctor has told you differently, the standard dose is that one drop should be instilled into the corner of the eye, nearest the nose, 3 to 5 times each day or as required to provide sufficient lubrication.
- As dry eye is a condition which varies from person to person, the drops should be used as often as you think necessary, to relieve your dry eye(s). This may be more often than the standard dose but this should not cause any unwanted effects.
- Sit down in front of a mirror so that you can see what you are doing.
- Wipe your eyes to clear any residual wateriness or discharge.
- Unscrew the cap from the bottle, check the dropper is clean.
- Pull your lower eyelid gently down, and then carefully instil one drop inside the lower eyelid, in the corner closest to the nose.
- Release the lower eyelid, and blink a few times to make sure the eye is covered by the liquid.
- Repeat the procedure for your other eye.
- When you have finished, replace the protective cap tightly to prevent spilling or spoilage.
