How UV Lube Eye Drops works

Carboxymethylcellulose is a lubricant (artificial tears) that forms a protective, moisturizing film over the ocular surface. It stabilizes the tear film and reduces friction and irritation, providing symptomatic relief in dry eyes.

How to take UV Lube 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. If using other eye medicines, keep a 5-10 minute gap. Remove contact lenses before instillation and reinsert after 10-15 minutes unless advised otherwise.

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.
