Description
IndicationsÂ
Tears Plus is an ophthalmic medication used to relieve dry, irritated eyes.Â
As an eye lubricant, Tears Plus works by hydrating and lubricating the eye, thereby alleviating dry eye symptoms such as burning, itching, and the feeling of a foreign body in the eye.Â
Uses and DosageÂ
Thoroughly read and follow the guidelines outlined on the Tears Plus packaging before the first use and with each subsequent refill. Should you have any questions, seek guidance from your healthcare provider or pharmacist.Â
Tears Plus is usually applied in 1 or 2 drops to the affected eyes as often as needed.Â
Before use, visually check the solution; do not use it if it appears cloudy or undergoes a color change.Â
To properly administer Tears Plus:Â
- Wash your hands thoroughly.Â
- Avoid touching the dropper tip and prevent contact with your eyes or other surfaces to prevent contamination.Â
- Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to create a pocket.Â
- Hold the dropper directly over the eye and dispense the needed number of drops to the pocket made.Â
- Look downward, gently close your eye, and place a finger at the inner corner near the nose, applying gentle pressure for 1 or 2 minutes to avoid medication drainage.Â
- After each application, securely replace the cap.Â
For optimal outcomes, use Tears Plus exactly as directed on its packaging. If your condition persists or worsens after three days, consult your healthcare provider.Â
