Irimist 10 mL Eye Drop

Irimist 10 mL Eye Drop is a lubricating eye drop made with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, a cellulose-based demulcent used to relieve dry, irritated eyes. Each dose is delivered from the 10 mL eye drop bottle and is intended to coat the eye surface with a soothing, moisture-retaining film. Irimist 10 mL Eye Drop is used for temporary relief of dryness, burning, stinging, and discomfort caused by reduced natural tears. It is an eye care product, not an antibiotic or steroid.

How it works: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose works by forming a thin, slippery coating over the eye surface, which helps reduce friction and dryness. In this eye drop form, it acts like a tear substitute to keep the eye more comfortable for a short time after use.

Irimist 10 mL Eye Drop is the larger-volume pack in this brand line compared with Irimist 0.30% 5 mL Eye Drop, so it may suit people who use lubricating drops more regularly or need a bottle that lasts longer. Because this is the 10 mL eye drop presentation, a doctor or eye care professional may choose it when ongoing lubrication is needed and when a standard artificial tear product is appropriate rather than a medicine for infection or inflammation.

• Dry eyes
• Eye irritation
• Burning or stinging from dryness
• Temporary relief from environmental dryness
• Lubrication for contact lens discomfort only if advised

• Wash your hands before using Irimist 10 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
• Instill the number of drops prescribed into the affected eye or eyes.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after applying; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor says otherwise.

Irimist 10 mL Eye Drop is supplied as a 10 mL bottle; the exact amount used each time is measured in drops, not milligrams. It may be used as needed or on a regular schedule depending on symptoms, but the dosing frequency and maximum daily use should be set by a doctor or eye care professional for this specific product.

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

Common side effects of Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose may include:

• Temporary blurred vision
• Mild eye irritation
• Burning or stinging on instillation
• Watery eyes
• Redness or mild discomfort
• Sticky feeling on the eyelids

• Use caution if you have severe eye pain or sudden vision loss, because those are not typical dry-eye symptoms.
• Do not use if the solution changes color, becomes cloudy, or the bottle is damaged.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination of the 10 mL bottle.
• If you wear contact lenses, ask your doctor whether to remove them before using the drops.
• Temporary blurred vision may occur after use, so be careful driving or operating machinery until your vision clears.
• Tell your doctor if your dry eyes are due to an eye infection, injury, or recent eye surgery.
• Use extra caution if you need frequent, repeated dosing, since ongoing symptoms may need evaluation.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments may reduce the effect unless spaced apart properly.
• Prescription eye medicines such as anti-inflammatory drops may need separate timing.
• Contact lens solutions or lens wear can interact with comfort and absorption of the drop.
• Any product causing eye irritation, including some cosmetics, may worsen symptoms when used with dry-eye drops.

Store Irimist 10 mL Eye Drop at room temperature, tightly closed, and protect it from contamination; discard the bottle as directed on the label or by your pharmacist after opening.
