Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant contains Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 2% w/v, a viscous polymer used to provide effective relief from dryness and irritation of the eyes. This ophthalmic lubricant mimics natural tears, forming a protective film over the ocular surface to maintain moisture and reduce friction caused by blinking. It is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of dry eye syndrome, exposure keratopathy, and other conditions associated with decreased tear production or increased tear evaporation. Lacrigel is suitable for use in patients experiencing discomfort from environmental factors such as wind, dust, or prolonged screen time. The formulation is preservative-free, minimizing the risk of ocular surface toxicity and making it appropriate for frequent or long-term use. Administration involves instilling one or two drops into the affected eye(s) as needed, with frequency adjusted according to symptom severity. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose enhances tear film stability, promoting corneal epithelial healing and improving visual comfort. Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation. As with all topical ocular products, care should be taken to avoid contamination of the dropper tip. If symptoms persist or worsen, consultation with an eye care professional is advised.
