About Light Liquid Paraffin+white Soft Paraffin
Light Liquid Paraffin+white Soft Paraffin is a lubricating ophthalmic ointment designed to treat and relieve the symptoms of severe dry eyes. It provides a soothing protective barrier over the surface of the eye to prevent irritation caused by wind, dry air, or prolonged screen use. By locking in moisture, it helps heal corneal dryness and discomfort.
This medicine is typically applied one or more times daily, often at bedtime, to ensure consistent moisture throughout the night. For the best results, you should use it regularly as directed by your healthcare professional. Making small lifestyle adjustments, such as using a room humidifier and drinking plenty of fluids, can also significantly improve your dry eye symptoms.
While using Light Liquid Paraffin+white Soft Paraffin, you may experience temporary blurred vision or mild stinging immediately after application. These side effects are usually harmless and resolve quickly, but you should consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe eye pain, lasting vision changes, or signs of an eye infection.
Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting Light Liquid Paraffin+white Soft Paraffin if you have an active eye infection, have recently had eye surgery, or wear contact lenses.
Although this ointment is unlikely to interact with oral medications, alcohol, or smoking due to its localised action, you should wait at least 15 minutes between applying this ointment and using other eye medications. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or elderly, talk to your doctor or pharmacist to confirm that Light Liquid Paraffin+white Soft Paraffin is safe for your specific needs.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Dry eyes: Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when tears are unable to adequately lubricate the eyes. Tear instabilities cause inflammation and damage to the eye surface. Dry eyes are caused by autoimmune disease, hormonal changes, or inflamed eyelid glands, which disrupt the healthy tear film. A burning sensation, sensitivity to light, eye redness, a feeling of something in the eyes, watery eyes, and blurred vision are all symptoms.
