Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop

Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop is a lubricating eye drop that contains carboxymethylcellulose in a 10 mL bottle. Carboxymethylcellulose is an ophthalmic lubricant, also called an artificial tear. Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop is used to relieve dry, irritated, burning, or gritty eyes caused by dryness or environmental factors.

How it works: Carboxymethylcellulose helps replace and stabilize the natural tear film on the surface of the eye. As an eye drop, Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop coats the eye to reduce dryness and friction so blinking feels more comfortable.

Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop is a larger bottle size rather than a stronger medicine, so each drop has the same type of lubricant effect as other carboxymethylcellulose eye drops. This 10 mL eye drop can suit people who need regular relief and want a practical supply for repeated use as directed by a clinician.

• Dry eyes
• Burning or stinging from eye dryness
• Grittiness or scratchy feeling in the eyes
• Irritation from wind, screen time, or air conditioning
• Temporary relief of minor eye discomfort due to dryness

• Wash your hands before using Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye without touching the dropper tip.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Do not wear contact lenses while your eyes are irritated unless your eye doctor says it is okay; remove lenses before using the drops and reinsert them only as directed.
• Use Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop only as often as your doctor recommends; do not use extra drops to speed relief.

Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop provides 10 mL of carboxymethylcellulose ophthalmic solution in each bottle, not a higher single-dose strength. The dose is usually 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed, but the exact frequency and maximum daily use should be set by your doctor or eye care professional. Because this is a lubricating eye drop, dosing can vary based on dryness severity and how often symptoms return.

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

Common side effects of Carboxymethylcellulose may include:

• Temporary blurred vision right after use
• Mild eye burning or stinging
• Temporary eye redness
• Watery eyes
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Sticky or gummy feeling on the eyelids or lashes

• Do not use Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop if the bottle is damaged, dirty, or expired.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface to prevent contamination.
• If you wear contact lenses, ask your eye doctor when to remove and reinsert them.
• Temporary blurred vision can happen after instilling the drops, so use caution with driving or machinery until your vision clears.
• Tell your doctor if you have eye pain, discharge, injury, infection, or sudden vision changes, because dryness may not be the only problem.
• Use the product only in the eyes; do not swallow it.
• If symptoms last more than a few days or keep coming back, get medical advice rather than increasing use on your own.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments, which may need to be spaced apart by several minutes
• Contact lenses, especially if your eye doctor has advised against using them during irritation
• Other preservatives or eye products that can further irritate sensitive eyes
• Any prescription eye medicine, because timing between products may affect how well they work

Store Tear Max 10 mL Eye Drop at room temperature, tightly closed, and keep it away from heat, moisture, and contamination.
