Liquifilm Tears Eye Drops 15ml

LIQUIFILM TEARS is a substitute for tears and contains a lubricant called polyvinyl alcohol.
It is an eye drops solution used for the relief of the symptoms of dry eye (such as soreness, burning, irritation or dryness) caused by your eyes not producing enough tears.

What is it used for?

• Dry eye conditions.
• Dryness of the eye surface (cornea) and lining of the eye socket (conjunctiva) due to reduced tear production (keratoconjunctivitis sicca).

The usual dose of LIQUIFILM TEARS is 1 or 2 drops in each eye that needs treatment as often as you feel the need.

Instructions for use

Do not use the bottle if the seal around the cap is broken before you first open it.

Wash your hands before opening the bottle. Tilt your head back and look at the ceiling.

If a drop misses your eye, try again.

To help prevent infection, do not let the tip of the bottle touch your eye, the surrounding tissue or anything else. Put the screw-cap back on to close the bottle, straight after you have used it. Once you have opened the bottle, you must not use it longer than 28 days; please see also Section 5, “How to store LIQUIFILM TEARS”.
