Description
Ingredients
Refresh Lacri-Lube Eye Ointment is formulated to provide long-lasting moisture and comfort for dry or irritated eyes. Its composition combines effective lubricants with safe, hypoallergenic components, ensuring gentle care for sensitive eyes.
Active Ingredients:
- White petrolatum – 57.3%
- Mineral oil – 42.5%
Inactive Ingredients:
- Lanolin alcohols
The combination of white petrolatum and mineral oil forms a protective layer over the eye surface, reducing dryness and shielding against environmental irritants. Lanolin alcohols help maintain smooth application and enhance comfort, making it suitable for repeated use.
How to Use
Using Refresh Lacri-Lube correctly ensures maximum relief from eye dryness:
- Wash hands thoroughly before application.
- Tilt your head slightly back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
- Carefully spread a thin layer of ointment inside the lower eyelid.
- Close eyes slowly and move them gently to distribute the ointment.
- Wipe away any excess with a clean tissue.
- Recommended usage is up to four times daily, based on guidance from your healthcare provider.
Avoid touching the tip of the tube to any surface, including your eye, to prevent contamination.
Dosage
The recommended dosage of Refresh Lacri-Lube depends on the severity of dryness and your healthcare provider’s guidance:
- Adults and children over 2 years: Apply a small amount (about 1 cm ribbon) 2–4 times daily or as needed for relief.
- Children under 2 years: Use only under medical supervision.
Overuse may temporarily blur vision; it is safe once the eyes adjust after application.
Precautions
- For external use only. Do not ingest.
- Avoid contact with contact lenses unless recommended by your eye care professional.
- If you experience eye pain, redness, or irritation that worsens, stop use and consult a doctor.
- Do not use if the tube is damaged or the ointment has changed color or consistency.
Always store in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.
Side Effects
Refresh Lacri-Lube is generally well-tolerated. Some mild effects may occur:
- Temporary blurred vision immediately after application
- Slight stinging or irritation in sensitive eyes
- In rare cases, allergic reactions like swelling, redness, or itching can occur.
If any side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult your eye care professional promptly.
