Ophth Lubric (2%) 10Ml Eye Drops

Overview

Ophth Lubric 2% 10 ml Eye Drops are an ophthalmic sodium chloride preparation used for eye-surface comfort and for conditions where a hypertonic eye drop may be recommended. The product is commonly listed as containing sodium chloride 2% and is intended for topical use in the eye only. Sodium chloride eye drops are different from antibiotic, steroid, anti-allergy, or glaucoma drops; they do not treat infection and should not be used as a substitute for a clinician-prescribed medicine when eye disease is present.

This product may be considered when dryness, irritation, watering, gritty sensation, or corneal swelling symptoms are being assessed by a healthcare professional. Because eye symptoms can look similar across many conditions, persistent redness, pain, discharge, light sensitivity, sudden blur, trauma, or worsening vision should be reviewed promptly by an eye specialist.
