Optagel 2% Eye Gel is recommended in cases of tear insufficiency caused by-
- Impaired lacrimal secretion and
- Functional disorders as a result of topical or systemic diseases or
- Caused by deficient or incomplete eyelid closure
- Hypromellose is an ophthalmic lubricant used to treat dry eye disease and assist during eye surgeries. Dry eye disease occurs when there is insufficient tear production or poor-quality tears, leading to inflammation and damage to the eye’s surface.
- Hypromellose eye drops or gel contain Hypromellose, which increases tear viscosity in the eye, providing temporary relief from burning and discomfort.
- This medication is for external use only. Some minor side effects may include blurred vision, eye pain, a sensation of a foreign body in the eyes, eye irritation, and eye redness. If any of these side effects persist, it is advisable to consult your doctor.
- Before using Hypromellose, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. To avoid contamination, avoid touching the tip of the eye drops or gel container, and make sure to replace the cap tightly after each use. Do not use the solution if it has changed color or appears cloudy. Always use the medication before the expiration date. Do not change or stop the dosage without consulting your doctor.
- As Hypromellose can cause temporary blurred vision, refrain from driving, operating machinery, or engaging in activities that require clear vision until your vision has returned to normal. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to ensure the safe and effective use of Hypromellose.
