Tear-Gel Ophthalmic Liquid Gel

What is it?

• Tear gel is a thicker, more viscous form of eye drop compared to traditional liquid drops.
• This thicker consistency allows it to coat the eye more effectively and provide sustained lubrication.

Benefits:

• Long-Lasting Relief: Tear gel's thicker consistency allows it to adhere to the eye's surface for longer, offering extended comfort. This is especially beneficial at night when tear production naturally decreases.
• Soothes and Protects: Tear gel can soothe irritation and burning caused by dry eyes while protecting the eye's surface.
• Preservative-Free (Often): Many tear gel formulations are preservative-free, making them suitable for people with sensitive eyes.
• Contact Lens Friendly (Usually): Some tear gels are safe for use with contact lenses, but it's important to check the specific product label.

Things to Consider:

• Temporary Blurry Vision: Due to its thicker consistency, tear gel might cause temporary blurring of vision upon application. This usually clears up within a few minutes.
• Effectiveness: Tear gel might not work as well as traditional eye drops for everyone.

Who can benefit from Tear Gel?

• People experiencing moderate to severe dry eye symptoms.
• Those who find traditional eye drops don't provide lasting relief.
• Individuals with nighttime dry eye discomfort.

Consulting a Doctor:

Before using any new eye drops, including tear gel, it's important to consult with your doctor. They can help determine if tear gel is the right choice for your specific needs and underlying cause of dry eye.
