Uses of Refresh Tears Eye Drops
- Dryness
- Soothes irritation
- Long-lasting comfort
Benefits of Refresh Tears Eye Drops
- In Eye infection
- Refresh Tears clears the bacteria causing a red, sticky, painful eye, so the discharge, grittiness and redness settle within days.
- In Eye inflammation
- Refresh Tears calms inflammation inside or on the surface of the eye, relieving redness, pain and sensitivity to light.
- In Dry eyes
- Refresh Tears lubricates the surface of the eye, relieving the gritty, burning, tired feeling of dry eyes, especially after screen use or in air-conditioning.
- In Glaucoma
- Refresh Tears lowers the pressure inside the eye, which is what protects the optic nerve from the slow, painless damage glaucoma causes to sight.
- In Allergic conjunctivitis
- Refresh Tears relieves the itching, watering and redness of an allergic eye, so you can stop rubbing and the eye can settle.
How Refresh Tears Eye Drops works
Carboxymethylcellulose acts directly on the surface and inside of the eye where it is instilled.
How to take Refresh Tears Eye Drops
Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and apply 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s). Use as needed throughout the day.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from eye use; flush the eye with clean water if too much is instilled. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Seek same-day care for eye pain, marked redness, sensitivity to light or any loss of vision.

Glaucoma drops must be used every day for life; there are no symptoms until sight is already lost.
