How Softdrops Liquigel Eye Drops works

Lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) supplement the natural tear film and help retain moisture on the eye surface. This reduces friction and soothes irritation, improving comfort in dry eye.

How to take Softdrops Liquigel Eye Drops

For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed or as directed by a doctor. Wash hands before use; avoid touching the dropper tip; remove contact lenses if advised and reinsert after 15 minutes.

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. It is not a realistic risk from a moisturiser used on the skin. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Expert advice for Softdrops Liquigel Eye Drops

Press gently on the inner corner of the eye for a minute after instilling — this keeps the drop in the eye and reduces the bitter taste. Leave five minutes between two different drops. Never share eye drops with anyone. Use lukewarm water, a soap substitute and short baths. Smooth it on in the direction the hair grows rather than rubbing it in hard. Keep using it when the skin looks normal — that is what prevents the next flare.
