Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel

Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel is a preservative-free ophthalmic gel containing hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 5 g per tube. It belongs to the ocular lubricants and artificial tears class. Doctors use Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel to relieve dry, irritated, or burning eyes and to help protect the eye surface when natural tears are not enough. Its gel texture stays on the eye longer than a thinner drop, which can be helpful for more persistent dryness.

How it works: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acts like a tear substitute by coating the surface of the eye and holding moisture in place. In gel form, Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel stays on the eye longer, which helps reduce friction and dryness.

This 5 g tube is the specific gel presentation of Lacryl PF, designed for people who may need longer-lasting eye lubrication rather than a watery drop. Because it is a gel, it can feel thicker for a short time after application and may blur vision briefly, so some doctors prefer it for use at bedtime or when longer contact time is needed.

• Dry eyes
• Eye irritation
• Burning or stinging from dryness
• Temporary relief of discomfort from environmental factors
• Lubrication for the ocular surface

• Wash your hands before using Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel.
• Pull down the lower eyelid and place a small ribbon or drop of gel into the lower eyelid pouch.
• Do not let the tube tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after applying.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before or after applying this gel.
• Do not wear contact lenses while your eyes are dry or irritated unless your eye doctor says it is okay.

Each tube of Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel contains 5 g of the lubricating gel. The usual amount and how often to use it depend on your symptoms and your doctor’s instructions; many people use it several times a day as needed, and there is no standard maximum daily number set the same way as prescription medicines because it is used for symptom relief. Your doctor should decide the frequency and duration based on how dry or irritated your eyes are.

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

Common side effects of Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose may include:

• Temporary blurred vision after applying the gel
• Mild eye burning or stinging
• Eye redness
• Watery eyes
• Sticky or gritty feeling in the eye
• Temporary eye discomfort

• Use caution before driving or operating machinery because Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel can blur vision briefly after use.
• Do not use the tube tip if it becomes contaminated; contamination can raise the risk of eye infection.
• Tell your doctor if you have eye pain, discharge, or major vision changes, because dryness may not be the only problem.
• If you wear contact lenses, ask your eye doctor whether to remove them before using the gel and when to reinsert them.
• Use extra care if you are using multiple eye products, since spacing them out helps the gel work properly.
• Avoid touching the eye with the tube tip, especially if you have been diagnosed with an eye infection or recent eye injury.
• If symptoms last more than a few days or keep coming back, medical evaluation is important.

• Other ophthalmic drops, gels, or ointments may affect how Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel spreads or absorbs, so separate products by at least 5 to 10 minutes.
• Contact lens products may be affected because the gel can coat the lenses and the eye surface.
• Any eye medicine containing preservatives or active ingredients for glaucoma or infection should be timed carefully with this gel.
• Using too many eye lubricants at the same time may increase temporary blurring or irritation.

Store Lacryl PF 5 g Eye Gel at room temperature, tightly closed, and protect it from contamination; do not use it past the expiration date or after the tube is opened for too long if the label or pharmacist gives a specific discard time.
