Genteal Eye Drop 0.3% 10 mL

Genteal Eye Drop 0.3% 10 mL is an over-the-counter lubricating eye drop containing hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 0.3% in each drop. It belongs to the artificial tears class and is used to relieve dry, irritated, or burning eyes. Genteal Eye Drop 0.3% 10 mL helps add moisture and protect the surface of the eye when natural tears are not enough. The 10 mL bottle is supplied by Alcon Laboratories and is intended for eye use only.

How it works: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose works like a tear substitute, spreading over the eye to help keep the surface moist and comfortable. In Genteal Eye Drop 0.3% 10 mL, it also helps shield the eye from dryness and irritation by forming a lubricating film.

Genteal Eye Drop 0.3% 10 mL is a mid-strength lubricating eye drop, stronger than lower-concentration tear substitutes and different from other Genteal forms listed by your pharmacy. This 0.3% strength may be chosen when simpler or thinner drops do not give enough relief, while still being gentle enough for regular daytime use for many people. Your clinician may prefer this product if you need more surface lubrication without switching to a thicker gel.
