How to use Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Eye Gel?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Eye Gel is a commonly used artificial tear, mainly used to relieve dry eye symptoms. It can lubricate the surface of the eye, keep the eyeball moist, and reduce dryness.

How to use

Hand wash and disinfection: Before use, wash your hands thoroughly to avoid bacterial infection.

Prepare the medicine: Take out the eye gel and gently shake the bottle several times to ensure that the medicine is evenly mixed. Make sure the packaging is intact and within the expiration date.

Steps for dropping medicine:

Tilt the head: Tilt the head back, look up, and gently pull the lower eyelid open to form a small pocket.

Squeeze the gel: Use your other hand to squeeze one drop or the dose of gel recommended by the doctor into the small pocket. Be careful not to let the dropper touch the eye or any other surface to prevent contamination.

Close your eyes: After dropping, gently close your eyes for 1-2 minutes, do not blink or squeeze the eyeball hard, so that the medicine is evenly distributed.

Multiple medication: If you need to use the medicine multiple times, please leave at least 5 minutes between each time to avoid washing away the effect of the previous medication.

Use of other drugs: If you need to use other eye drops, it is best to follow the doctor's advice and wait at least 5 minutes after using Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Eye Gel before using other drugs.

Precautions

Avoid contact: When using, avoid the dropper from touching any surface, including the eyes, to prevent contamination of the drug.

Storage: Store the eye gel in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. After opening, try to use it within the specified time to ensure the efficacy and safety of the drug.

Driving and operating machines: There may be temporary blurred vision after use, and you should avoid driving or operating precision instruments immediately.

Wearing contact lenses: If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before using the eye gel and wear them at least 15 minutes after use.
