About Lacryl Soothe Eye Drops

Lacryl Soothe Eye Drops is an ophthalmic medication used to treat dry eyes. Dry eye is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, resulting in irritation, discomfort, and blurred vision. It can be caused by factors such as ageing, medication, or environmental conditions. Symptoms include dryness, burning, redness, and eye fatigue.

Lacryl Soothe Eye Drops contains Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, an eye lubricant. It works by forming a transparent, moisturising film on the cornea, providing relief from dryness and irritation caused by reduced tear production.

Use Lacryl Soothe Eye Drops exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is for eye use only. Follow your doctor’s instructions on how long to use it based on your condition. Some people may experience temporary blurred vision, foreign body sensation, eye pain, redness, or irritation. These side effects usually go away on their own, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Before using Lacryl Soothe Eye Drops, inform your doctor if you're allergic to any of its ingredients or have severe eye conditions or infections. It's for external use only. Temporary blurred vision may occur, so ensure your vision is clear before driving or operating machinery.
