Visco tears 0.2% Liquid Gel contains carbomer 2mg/g (0.2%) — a viscous polyacrylic acid gel that coats and lubricates the surface of the eye to relieve the discomfort of dry eye syndrome. The gel formulation provides longer-lasting contact time than standard drops, making it effective for moderate-to-severe dry eye or for users who need sustained relief.
Suitable for use day or night. Available as a convenient multi-dose sterile tube. Compatible with contact lens wear — remove lenses before instilling; wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.
