About Lacryl Gentle 0.3% Eye Gel

Lacryl Gentle 0.3% Eye Gel belongs to the class of medicines called 'ophthalmic lubricants', which are generally used to treat dry eye disease and in eye surgeries. Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs if you don't produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye's surface.

Lacryl Gentle 0.3% Eye Gel contains 'Hypromellose'. Lacryl Gentle 0.3% Eye Gel works by increasing tear viscosity in the eye. In this way, it provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort.

It is available for external use only. Some minor side effects are blurred vision, eye pain, a foreign body sensation in the eyes, eye irritation, and eye redness. If these persist, consult your doctor.

Do not touch the tip of the eye drops/eye gel container to avoid contamination, and replace the cap tightly after each use. Do not use a solution that changes colour and is cloudy in appearance. Use before the expiration date. Do not change or stop the dose of medicine without informing your doctor.
