Lacria 2% Eye Gel 5 gm

Lacria 2% Eye Gel 5 gm 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.

Lacria 2% Eye Gel 5 gm 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.
