How Enlube Eye Drops works

Carboxymethylcellulose is a lubricant (artificial tear) that forms a protective, hydrating film on the eye surface. It reduces tear evaporation and friction, providing soothing relief from dryness and irritation.

How to take Enlube Eye Drops

For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) 3–4 times daily or as advised. May be used with or without food. Remove contact lenses before use and reinsert after 15 minutes unless advised otherwise; avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
