Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose Eye Drops

Sodium Carboxymethyl Methyl Cellulose Eye Drops, also called as carboxymethylcellulose sodium eye drops, are used to help with dry and irritated eyes. Dry eyes can happen when different things make them dry, like wind, the sun, air that’s too warm or cold, using a computer or reading a lot, and some medicines.

These eye drops have sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a substance that makes tears thicker in the eye. Doing this helps to temporarily reduce the symptoms of dry eyes, like burning, itching, and the feeling that something is in the eye.

How To Use

• Make sure to wash your hands before using eye drops so you don’t introduce any dirt or bacteria into your eyes.
• Make sure the eye drops are not old. When eye drops have expired, they may not work well and could potentially hurt you.
• If you have contact lenses on, take them out before putting in the eye drops. Wearing contact lenses while using eye drops can make the drops less effective and the lenses may soak up the medicine.
• Lean your head backwards a little and raise your eyes to the ceiling.
• Gently bring your lower eyelid down to make a small space.
• Turn the eye drop bottle upside down and gently press it to let out one or two drops into the space created by your lower eyelid. Make sure you don’t touch your eye or eyelashes with the bottle’s tip to avoid spreading germs.
• Gently shut your eyes and keep them closed for a short time so that the eye drops can spread evenly on your eye.
• If there is too much liquid in your eye, use a clean tissue to gently remove it.
• If your doctor tells you to use more than one drop, wait a few minutes before putting on another drop. This helps make sure the first drop is soaked up correctly.
• Remember to close the cap of the eye drop bottle tightly after you use it so that it stays clean and doesn’t get contaminated.
