How Ocurest New Sterile Eye Drops works

Lubricating/tear-substitute eye drops form a protective, hydrating layer over the surface of the eye. This reduces friction, stabilizes the tear film and relieves dryness and irritation.

How to take Ocurest New Sterile Eye Drops

For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed or as advised by a doctor. Wash hands before use, avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, and close the cap tightly after use. If using other eye medicines, keep a 10–15 minute gap.

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

Expert advice for Ocurest New Sterile Eye Drops

In case the dropper tip gets contaminated, squeeze out two or three drops straightaway onto some tissue and rinse the tip with salt water. After applying Ocurest Sterile Eye Drop, close your eyes, and place one finger at the corner of your eye. Apply gentle pressure for 1 to 2 minutes before opening your eyes. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye. Avoid wearing contact lenses until your doctor advises you that it is suitable for you to wear your lenses again.
