At a glance
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Eye Prep is an ocular lubricant used to relieve irritation and discomfort due to dryness of the eye or exposure to wind or sun. It lubricates the surface of the eye similarly to natural tears.
Indications
- Dry eyes
- Irritation and discomfort due to exposure to wind or sun
Pharmacology
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium is an ocular lubricant that provides a lubricating and hydrating protective shield on the ocular surface similar to natural tears and works below the tear film to protect the cornea. Its action is not receptor-mediated but is due to its viscosity-enhancing properties that increase the retention time of the eye drop.
Dosage
Adults: Instill 1-2 drops in the affected eye(s) up to 4 times daily as needed.
Children (under 3 years): Do not use.
Elderly: No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and other adult patients.
Note: Apply pressure on the inner corner of the eye for 2 minutes after instillation (to reduce systemic absorption).

- Temporary blurred vision upon first use
- Minor burning/stinging/irritation (temporary)
- Eye irritation, pruritus, ocular discharge, visual disturbance (rare)
