Optive Eye Drop 10 mL

Optive Eye Drop 10 mL is a lubricating eye drop that contains carboxymethylcellulose sodium, a cellulose-derived artificial tear ingredient. It belongs to the ocular lubricant class and is used to help relieve dry, irritated, burning, or gritty eyes. Optive Eye Drop 10 mL works by adding moisture and forming a protective layer over the eye surface. It is commonly used when the eyes do not make enough natural tears or when tears evaporate too quickly.

How it works: Carboxymethylcellulose helps hold water on the surface of the eye and increases tear film thickness. In this Optive Eye Drop 10 mL form, that cushioning effect can reduce dryness, scratchiness, and discomfort caused by a poor tear film.

Optive Eye Drop 10 mL is a standard-sized multi-dose eye drop bottle, so it is suited for people who need repeated relief from dry eye symptoms over time. Because there are no other Optive strengths or forms listed here, this 10 mL eye drop fits typical lubricating-eye-drop use and is chosen for convenient, on-the-go dosing rather than a one-time treatment.

• Dry eyes
• Eye irritation from dryness
• Burning or stinging eyes
• Gritty or sandy eye sensation
• Temporary eye discomfort from wind, screens, or indoor air

• Wash your hands before using Optive Eye Drop 10 mL.
• Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to make a small pocket.
• Instill the prescribed number of drops into the eye without touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface.
• Close your eyes gently for 1 to 2 minutes after use; do not rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products.
• Replace the cap tightly after each use and follow your doctor’s instructions for frequency.

Each application of Optive Eye Drop 10 mL delivers carboxymethylcellulose eye drops from a 10 mL bottle, and the exact number of drops per dose is set by the directions on the label or by your doctor. It may be used as needed or on a regular schedule for dry eyes, but your prescriber decides how often to use it and whether any maximum daily frequency is appropriate for you.

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

Common side effects of Carboxymethylcellulose may include:

• Temporary mild eye burning or stinging
• Blurred vision right after instilling the drop
• Eye redness or mild irritation
• Watery eyes
• Sticky or crusty eyelids
• A feeling that something is in the eye

• Do not use if the bottle tip becomes contaminated; touching the tip to the eye can spread infection.
• If you have eye pain, marked redness, pus, or sudden vision loss, get medical help instead of relying on Optive Eye Drop 10 mL.
• Remove soft contact lenses before using the drop unless your eye doctor says otherwise.
• Temporary blurred vision can happen after dosing, so use caution before driving or operating machinery.
• Tell your doctor if you have had eye surgery, an eye injury, or chronic eye disease before using this product.
• Use only as directed; more frequent use than recommended may increase irritation without adding benefit.
• If symptoms last more than a few days or keep returning, you should be evaluated for the cause of dry eye.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments, which may need to be spaced apart by several minutes
• Prescription glaucoma drops, since timing may matter for absorption
• Contact lens solutions or lens wear, because lenses can worsen irritation
• Other products containing carboxymethylcellulose or artificial tears, which can lead to unnecessary overuse

Store Optive Eye Drop 10 mL at room temperature, keep the bottle tightly closed, and protect it from contamination by not touching the dropper tip to any surface.
