What are Ontears eye drops

Ontears eye drops are prescription-only lubricating eye solutions that help treat Dry Eye symptoms, irritation, and discomfort caused by insufficient tear production or environmental conditions. Ontears' active salt is FDA-approved Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium 0.5% w/v. It is an ophthalmic lubricant manufactured by Sentiss Pharma in a GMP-compliant production facility.

Carboxymethylcellulose, also known as Carmellose Sodium, serves as a tear replacement. It produces a protective, moisturizing coating on the eye's surface, helping retain moisture, reducing friction during blinking, and soothing dryness and inflammation.

It is primarily used to treat Dry Eye syndrome, burning or stinging sensations, eye strain from extended screen use, exposure to wind or pollution, and post-surgical eye dryness.

Administer the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye(s) as needed or as suggested by your doctor. If you miss a dosage, take it as soon as you recall. Overuse could result in temporary impaired vision or irritation. In such a case, rinse with clean water and contact a doctor if discomfort persists.

Potential side effects of these eye drops include mild burning, itching, redness, and impaired vision. Seek medical attention if you experience any discomfort, swelling, or vision problems. Remove contact lenses before usage and wait for 15 minutes before reinserting. Use with caution when used with other eye medications, keeping a 10-15 minute break.

Store below 25°C and away from light. Don't freeze. Discard within four weeks of opening.

What are the benefits of using Ontears eye drops

Ontears eye irritation relief eye drops work as a lubricating artificial tear that mimics your natural tear film, keeping moisture on the eye surface.

• Temporary relief from Dry Eyes due to enhanced lubrication
• Reduced burning, itching, and discomfort caused by low tear production or environmental exposure
• Relief from eye strain caused by extended screen use or windy situations

Safety Advice

Liver Disease

Liver patients can generally use these lubricating eye drops safely. Since the medication acts locally on the eye's surface with minimal absorption into the bloodstream, it does not impact liver function. However, always consult your doctor first to ensure safe use.

Kidney Impairment

Patients with kidney impairment can generally use Ontears drops safely. Since the medication acts locally on the eye's surface with no or minimal absorption into the bloodstream, it does not affect kidney function. Always contact your eye care specialist for personalized medical advice.

Pregnant and Breastfeeding women

Although Ontears has minimal bloodstream absorption, pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should seek expert medical advice before usage. Since clinical evidence for these specific groups is limited, a doctor's evaluation ensures the medication is safe for both the mother and the child.

Avoid

Do not drive or operate any machinery right after using these eye drops, as the medication can cause temporary blurred vision. Do not use it if you are hypersensitive to Carboxymethylcellulose.
