Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop

Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop is an eye lubricant containing 1% carboxymethylcellulose in each 2 mL eye drop bottle. It belongs to the artificial tears class and is used to relieve dryness, irritation, burning, and gritty-feeling eyes caused by dry eye. Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop helps replace moisture on the surface of the eye and can make blinking more comfortable. It is a supportive treatment for dry eye symptoms rather than a cure for the underlying cause.

How it works: Carboxymethylcellulose works by coating the surface of the eye with a soothing, moisture-retaining layer. In Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop, this helps reduce friction and protects irritated eyes from dryness.

The 1% strength is a stronger, more viscous option than Lacrimos 0.5% 2 mL Eye Drop and may stay on the eye surface a bit longer. A doctor may choose Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop for people whose dry eye symptoms need a thicker lubricating drop, while the 0.5% forms may feel lighter and be preferred for milder dryness or more frequent daytime use. The 2 mL bottle size is a smaller pack than the 10 mL versions, which can be useful for short-term use or travel.

• Dry eye disease
• Eye dryness from wind, screens, or air conditioning
• Burning or stinging eyes
• Scratchy or gritty eye sensation
• Temporary eye irritation from reduced tears

• Wash your hands before using Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Remove soft contact lenses before use; ask your doctor when you can put them back in.
• Close your eye gently after each drop and avoid rubbing the eye.

Each Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop bottle contains carboxymethylcellulose 1%, which is a higher-strength lubricating eye drop than the 0.5% versions. The usual amount is 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed, but the exact frequency is decided by your doctor based on how dry your eyes are. Do not use more often than directed, because the right schedule can vary and too-frequent use may sometimes cause more blur or irritation.

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 instilling the drop, which may be a bit more noticeable with the 1% strength
• Mild eye stinging or burning
• Eye redness
• Watery eyes
• Temporary eye irritation or discomfort
• Sticky or goopy feeling on the eye

• Do not use Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop if the solution changes color, becomes cloudy, or the bottle is damaged.
• Because this is the 1% strength, it may feel thicker and cause more short-term blurring than lower-strength Lacrimos 0.5% drops.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye to avoid contamination.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before use and follow your eye doctor’s instructions about reinsertion.
• Tell your doctor if you have persistent eye pain, eye injury, glaucoma, or symptoms that do not improve.
• Use caution when driving or using machines right after dosing if your vision is blurry.
• This product is for the eye only and should not be swallowed or injected.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments, which may need to be spaced apart by several minutes
• Prescription glaucoma drops, which should be timed separately unless your clinician says otherwise
• Other lubricating eye products, since using too many can increase blur or stickiness
• Contact lenses, which can interact with the drop and may need to be removed before use

Store Lacrimos 1 % 2 mL Eye Drop at room temperature, tightly closed, and keep the bottle clean and protected from contamination.
