Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop

Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop is a lubricating eye drop made with carboxymethylcellulose 1% per drop. It belongs to the artificial tears / ophthalmic lubricant class and is used to relieve dry, irritated, and burning eyes caused by low tear film. Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop helps coat the surface of the eye so it feels more comfortable. It is an eye-care product from Allergan, India, supplied as a strip/box of 10 eye drops.

How it works: Carboxymethylcellulose works by binding water and forming a lubricating film over the eye surface. In Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop, this helps replace moisture, reduce friction, and soothe irritation from dryness.

Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop is a thicker, higher-viscosity lubricating eye drop than lower-strength carboxymethylcellulose eye drops, so it may stay on the eye longer and feel more cushioning. A doctor or eye-care professional may choose Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop when simple watery drops do not give enough comfort or when longer-lasting lubrication is needed. Because it can blur vision briefly after use, it is often better suited for people who want extended relief rather than the lightest feel.

• Dry eye relief
• Burning or stinging eyes
• Eye irritation from reduced tears
• Temporary relief of eye discomfort
• Lubrication for tired, dry eyes

• Wash your hands before using Refresh Liquigel 1% 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, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drop and wait as directed before putting them back in.
• If you are using other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop provides carboxymethylcellulose 1% in each eye drop. The usual amount is 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed, but the exact frequency is decided by a doctor based on how dry or irritated your eyes are. Do not use more often than directed on the label or by your clinician; overuse may not add benefit and can increase blurring 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
• Mild eye irritation or stinging
• Eye redness
• Watery eyes
• Sticky or gummy feeling on the eyelids
• Mild burning sensation

• Do not use the bottle if the seal is broken or the solution looks cloudy or discolored.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye or any surface to avoid contamination.
• If you have eye pain, major redness, pus, or sudden vision loss, get medical help rather than relying on Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop alone.
• Contact lens wearers should follow the product directions carefully because lubricating drops may require lens removal.
• Temporary blurred vision may affect driving or operating machinery right after use.
• Tell your doctor if you have ongoing dry eye symptoms, eye infection, or recent eye surgery.
• Use only as directed for the 1% strength; it is not a substitute for prescribed treatment of glaucoma, infection, or inflammatory eye disease.

• Other ophthalmic drops or ointments used at the same time, which may need spacing apart
• Contact lens care products if used too close to the drop
• Any other prescription eye medicines, since timing between products matters
• Eye medications that can increase blur or irritation when layered together

Store Refresh Liquigel 1% Eye Drop at room temperature, tightly closed, and protect it from contamination, heat, and freezing as directed on the package.
