About VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML

VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML is a sterile ophthalmic solution used to relieve dryness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes. It acts as a soothing lubricant to ease burning or grittiness caused by environmental factors like wind, dust, heating, or prolonged screen use. It is also commonly used to moisten hard contact lenses and to lubricate the eyes during specific diagnostic eye examinations.

You can use VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML as frequently as needed throughout the day, or exactly as recommended by your eye care professional, to maintain eye comfort. Because these are eye drops applied directly to the ocular surface, food intake does not affect how the medication works. Making simple changes, such as drinking more water and reducing your screen time, can also significantly improve your dry eye symptoms and support the effects of the drops.

While using VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML, some people may experience mild, temporary blurred vision or a brief stinging sensation immediately after putting the drops in. These symptoms usually resolve quickly on their own. However, if you experience severe eye pain, changes in your vision, or persistent redness and irritation that does not improve, you should stop using the drops and consult your doctor immediately.

Before you begin using VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML, talk to your doctor if you have an active eye infection, have recently had eye surgery, or have experienced a serious eye injury. Do not use this product if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to any of the ingredients listed on the product packaging.

There are no known major interactions between VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML and alcohol or smoking, though tobacco smoke can aggravate dry eye symptoms. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing the care of an elderly family member, talk to your doctor or pharmacist to ensure these drops are appropriate for your specific situation.

Uses of VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML

Here are the common eye conditions that VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML is used to manage:

  • Dry eye syndrome: VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML serves as a substitute for natural tears, coating the surface of the eye to relieve dryness, stinging, and the feeling of having sand in your eyes.
  • Environmental eye irritation: It helps protect and soothe the eyes from external irritants such as dry air, wind, smoke, air conditioning, and glare.
  • Contact lens discomfort: It provides lubrication to moisten hard contact lenses, making them more comfortable to wear throughout the day.

Key Benefits

VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML provides several benefits by restoring moisture and protecting the surface of the eyes:

  • Provides Fast Relief from Dryness: It quickly relieves burning, stinging, itching, and discomfort caused by dry eyes.
  • Lubricates and Moisturises the Eyes: By mimicking the natural tear film, it helps maintain moisture on the surface of the eyes for longer-lasting comfort.
  • Protects the Eye Surface: It forms a protective lubricating layer over the cornea, helping reduce irritation and protect against minor damage caused by dryness.
  • Improves Everyday Eye Comfort: By reducing dryness and irritation, it helps make activities such as reading, using digital screens, or wearing contact lenses more comfortable.

Directions for Use

  • Use VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML three times daily; however, follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and duration.
  • Lie down and tilt your head backwards. Gently pull your lower eyelid with your index finger to form a pocket. Instil the number of eye drops advised by the doctor into the pocket of the lower eyelid. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes after instilling VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML.
  • Avoid touching the applicator tip. Always keep the bottle securely closed and upright when not in use to prevent contamination. Wash your hands before and after application.

How VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML Works

VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML contains a lubricating agent that helps relieve dry, irritated eyes by providing long-lasting moisture and protection. VISCOMET PF SOLUTION 2ML works by forming a smooth, transparent layer over the surface of the eye. It blends with your natural tears, increasing the stability and thickness of the tear film while reducing tear evaporation. This helps keep the eyes well-lubricated, protects them from irritation caused by blinking, and provides lasting comfort. Together, these actions help relieve symptoms of dry eyes, such as burning, irritation, grittiness, and discomfort, while keeping the surface of the eye moist and protected.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support your body's natural tear production and overall hydration.
  • Use a humidifier: Use a cool-mist humidifier in dry indoor environments, especially in heated or air-conditioned rooms, to keep the air moist.
  • Follow the 20-20-20 rule: During prolonged computer or screen work, every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds to give your eyes a rest.
  • Protect your eyes outdoors: Wear wrap-around sunglasses when outdoors to shield your eyes from drying winds, dust, and sun glare.
  • Adjust your screen position: Position computer screens slightly below eye level so you do not have to open your eyes as wide, which helps reduce tear evaporation.
