About VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML

VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML is used to treat dry eye disease and in eye surgeries. Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs if you don't produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye's surface.

VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML contains Hypromellose, which works by increasing tear viscosity in the eye. In this way, it provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort.

Some minor side effects are blurred vision, eye pain, a foreign body sensation in the eyes, eye irritation, and eye redness. If these persist, consult your doctor.

Before using this VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any one of the medicine components. Do not touch the tip of the eye drops/eye gel container to avoid contamination, and replace the cap tightly after each use. Do not use a solution that changes colour and is cloudy in appearance.
