Aquaray Gel Eye Drop

Aquaray Gel Eye Drop is a carboxymethylcellulose eye drop made by Raymed Pharmaceuticals for relief of dry, irritated eyes. Each eye drop contains carboxymethylcellulose as labelled, which is part of the lubricating artificial tear class. It helps soothe burning, stinging, scratchiness, and the gritty feeling that can happen when the eyes do not make enough tears or the tear film is unstable. Aquaray Gel Eye Drop is used to moisturize the eye surface and provide longer-lasting comfort than a thinner drop may give.

How it works: Carboxymethylcellulose works by coating the surface of the eye with a moisture-retaining layer that acts like artificial tears. In Aquaray Gel Eye Drop, that thicker gel layer helps keep the eyes lubricated for longer and reduces friction from blinking.

Aquaray Gel Eye Drop is the gel-form lubricating version of carboxymethylcellulose, so it is typically chosen when simple watery drops do not last long enough or when dryness feels more persistent. Because gel drops can feel thicker and may blur vision for a short time after use, a doctor or pharmacist may prefer this form for people who need longer surface coating, especially at bedtime or for more noticeable dryness. Since there are no other listed strengths or forms for Aquaray, this product is the specific gel eye drop option provided under the brand.

• Dry eyes
• Eye irritation
• Burning or stinging eyes
• Scratchy or gritty eye feeling
• Temporary relief from environmental dryness

• Wash your hands before using Aquaray Gel Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
• Instill the number of drops directed by your doctor into the affected eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after each drop.
• If vision is blurred after use, wait until it clears before driving or using machinery.

Aquaray Gel Eye Drop provides carboxymethylcellulose as labelled in a gel eye-drop form, so it is designed for local lubrication rather than a swallowed dose. The exact frequency depends on how dry your eyes are and what your clinician recommends; many people use lubricating eye drops as needed during the day and may use them before bed for longer comfort. There is no fixed maximum daily amount in this product description, so the doctor’s instructions should guide how often Aquaray Gel Eye Drop is used.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Carboxymethylcellulose may include:

• Temporary blurred vision after instillation, which may be more noticeable with this gel form
• Brief eye burning or stinging
• Mild eye redness
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Sticky or tacky feeling on the eye lids
• Temporary watering of the eyes

• Aquaray Gel Eye Drop may blur vision briefly, so use caution with driving or operating machinery right after instilling it.
• Do not use the drop if the seal is broken or the solution looks contaminated.
• If you have eye pain, pus, significant redness, or light sensitivity, get medical advice instead of relying on lubricating drops alone.
• Remove contact lenses before use unless your eye doctor specifically tells you otherwise.
• Wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between Aquaray Gel Eye Drop and other eye medicines so the drops do not wash each other out.
• Tell your clinician if you are using multiple eye products, since gel drops are often used at a different time of day than thinner drops.
• If symptoms last more than a few days or keep returning, you should be evaluated for an underlying eye problem.

• Other prescription or over-the-counter eye drops
• Eye ointments or gels used at the same time
• Contact lens wetting or rewetting products
• Any medicated eye drop that needs to reach the eye surface without dilution

Store Aquaray Gel Eye Drop at room temperature in the original strip/box, and keep each drop protected from contamination until use.
