Viscotears liquid eye gel is used to make your eyes more comfortable when they feel dry. It is especially effective on sore, burning, irritated and dry eyes.
This eye drop contains the active ingredient Carbomer. Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that forms a viscous eye gel. It produces a transparent, lubricating and moistening film on the surface of the eye.
Viscotears Liquid Gel Eye Drops is known as ‘artificial tears', treats dry eye conditions including keratoconjunctivitis sicca by clinging to the surface of the eye and therefore it does not wash out of the eye as quickly as some other lubricating eye drops.

If you wear contact lenses, you can use these eye drops, but you’ll need to remove your contact lenses before using this product. Once you’ve used these eye drops, wait for at least 15 minutes before putting your contact lenses back in.
