ADD TEARS (Carboxymethylcellulose (0.5% w/v))

Add Tears Lubricant Eye Drop serves as an eye moisturizer or artificial tears designed to alleviate the discomfort associated with dry eyes. Dry eyes can occur when the natural tear production is insufficient to keep the ocular surface adequately lubricated. The drops work by providing relief from irritation and burning sensations that individuals with dry eyes often experience, promoting adequate moisture retention on the eye’s surface. The application of Add Tears is typically on an as-needed basis, and it is essential to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dosage. When using the drops, it is advisable to wait for a duration of 5 to 10 minutes before applying any other eye medications to prevent dilution. Ensure that the bottle is unopened if the seal appears broken prior to first use. It is important to practice good hygiene; wash your hands thoroughly before application and avoid contact with the dropper tip to prevent contamination. While many individuals tolerate these drops well, some may experience temporary side effects, including eye irritation and discomfort. Should any adverse effects linger or intensify, you should inform your healthcare professional. Until you can confirm your vision is unaffected, it is advisable to refrain from driving or operating machinery. If your symptoms do not improve or if you have concerns about side effects, it is important to seek medical advice promptly.
