Ontears 15 mL Eye Drop

Ontears 15 mL Eye Drop is a lubricating artificial tear made with carboxymethylcellulose, a cellulose-based ingredient that helps relieve dry, irritated eyes. It is an eye drop solution, so each dose delivers carboxymethylcellulose directly to the eye surface rather than through the stomach. Ontears 15 mL Eye Drop is used for dry eye symptoms such as burning, stinging, grittiness, and discomfort caused by reduced natural tears. This product is designed to moisturize and protect the eye surface and may be used as directed by an eye doctor or other clinician.

How it works: Carboxymethylcellulose works by adding moisture and helping the tear film stay on the eye longer. In an eye drop like Ontears 15 mL Eye Drop, it coats the surface of the eye to reduce dryness and irritation.

Ontears 15 mL Eye Drop is supplied as a 15 mL bottle, which is the full eye-drop product size rather than a different tablet or gel strength. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, the main difference is the bottle size and the number of drops available for ongoing dry-eye relief. A doctor may choose Ontears 15 mL Eye Drop for people who need a lubricating drop they can use repeatedly over time.

• Dry eye relief
• Eye burning
• Eye stinging
• Eye irritation
• Eye discomfort from dryness
• Temporary lubrication of the eye surface

• Wash your hands before using Ontears 15 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the drop into the eye without touching the tip to the eye or skin.
• Close your eye gently for a moment after instilling the drop; do not rub the eye right away.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your clinician tells you otherwise.
• Replace the cap tightly after each use and keep the bottle clean.
• Use exactly as directed on the label or by your doctor; do not use more often than recommended unless you were told to do so.

Ontears 15 mL Eye Drop provides 15 mL of lubricating eye-drop solution in each bottle, and the amount used per dose is usually 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye or eyes. It may be used as often as needed for dry eye symptoms, but your doctor or pharmacist should guide how frequently you should use it. There is no fixed maximum daily dose for this lubricant unless your clinician gives one, so the correct schedule depends on your symptoms and eye-care plan.

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