How Carbomer Eye Gel works

Carbomer (polyacrylic acid) forms a clear gel that spreads over the surface of the eye when you blink. It holds moisture and creates a long-lasting protective layer that supports the natural tear film and reduces friction between the eyelid and the eye.

What is Carbomer Eye Gel used for?

• Dry eyes

Carbomer Eye Gel is used to soothe and protect dry eyes, easing grittiness, burning, irritation and the feeling of something in the eye. It can help with dry eye caused by ageing, screen use, air conditioning, dusty environments or conditions such as Sjogren's syndrome. Its gel texture stays on the eye longer than ordinary drops, so it is often used at night.

Side effects of Carbomer Eye Gel

Carbomer Eye Gel is very well tolerated. Effects that some people notice are:

• Temporary blurred vision
• Sticky or crusty eyelids

See a doctor for eye pain, increasing redness, discharge or changes in vision.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye.
• Remove contact lenses before use unless advised otherwise.
• Do not drive until your vision is clear after applying it.
• If you use other eye drops, apply the gel last and leave a few minutes between them.
• See a doctor if dry eye symptoms do not improve or get worse.
