About Gel Tears Protection For Dry Eyes

Gel Tears Protection For Dry Eyes contains carbomer 2.0mg per 1g of gel. It is a highly effective artificial tear formulated to relieve dry, itchy, and irritated eyes while treating an unstable tear film. Gel Tears work by imitating the natural make-up of your own tears, effectively hydrating and soothing the ocular surface to provide long-lasting comfort against dryness.

Gel Tears Protection For Dry Eyes is suitable for adults aged 18 years and over and is available in a convenient 10g tube.

What Are Gel Tears Used For?

Gel Tears Protection For Dry Eyes is used to provide soothing relief for dry eye syndrome and an unstable tear film. When your eyes do not produce enough natural tears, they can become gritty, red, and irritated. This liquid gel acts as an artificial tear drop, lubricating and hydrating the eye surface to prevent further discomfort and irritation.

Who Are Gel Tears Suitable For?

Gel Tears eye drops are suitable for adults aged 18 and over.

Do not use Gel Tears Protection For Dry Eyes if you:

• Are allergic to carbomer or any of the other listed ingredients

Speak to a healthcare professional before use if you:

How to Use Gel Tears Eye Gel

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the eye gel.
2. Twist off the cap, tilt your head slightly back, and look upwards.
3. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
4. Hold the 10g tube just above your eye and squeeze gently until the gel falls into the gap.
5. Keep your eye open and move it around to ensure the gel coats the surface completely.
6. Repeat the process in the other eye if required, and firmly replace the cap.

If you wear contact lenses, you must remove them before starting the treatment and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
