You may use an alternative lubricating eye drop containing ingredients such as sodium hyaluronate, polyethylene glycol, or other similar artificial tears as a temporary substitute. Choose a preservative-free option if you have sensitive eyes or use drops frequently. If your dry eye symptoms worsen or do not improve with an alternative drop, please consult your eye specialist for a tailored treatment plan.

  1. Overview of Dry Eye Syndrome and Role of Eye Drops

    • Dry eye syndrome occurs when tears are insufficient or of poor quality, causing discomfort. Lubricating eye drops help alleviate these symptoms.

  2. Alternatives to Hypromellose (Eyemist Forte) Eye Drops

    • Consider eye drops with hypromellose or similar lubricants like 'Tears Naturale Free' or generic 'Hypromellose Eye Drops'.

  3. Alternatives to Carboxymethylcellulose (Refresh Liquigel) Eye Drops

    • Options include 'Celluvisc', 'Optive', or other brands containing carboxymethylcellulose.

  4. Other Lubricant Eye Drop Options

    • Sodium hyaluronate drops such as 'Hylo Fresh' or 'Vismed' can be effective alternatives.

  5. Important Considerations

    • Opt for preservative-free drops if used frequently. Consult an ophthalmologist before switching to ensure suitability.

  6. Where to Find These Alternatives

    • Check local pharmacies or online medical stores in India. Generic versions may offer cost savings.
