Therapeutic Class: Ocular Lubricant / Artificial Tears

Description:

Microsol Eye Drops contain Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium (CMC), a highly effective ocular lubricant used to relieve symptoms of dry eyes and eye irritation. CMC mimics natural tears and provides long-lasting moisture and protection to the eye surface.

Microsol is formulated to stabilize the tear film, reduce dryness, and soothe ocular discomfort caused by environmental factors, screen exposure, contact lens use, or eye surgery.

Indications:

• Relief from dry eye syndrome

• Eye irritation or burning caused by wind, sun, dust, or prolonged screen use

• Supportive therapy in post-surgical eye care

• Lubrication for contact lens users (if approved for such use—check product label)

Directions for Use:

• Instill 1–2 drops into the affected eye(s) as needed or as directed by a healthcare provider.

• Blink a few times to spread the drops evenly.

• May be used multiple times daily depending on dryness severity.

Precautions:

• For external ophthalmic use only.

• Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface to avoid contamination.

• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting (unless the product is specifically designed for use with lenses).

• If irritation, pain, or redness persists, discontinue use and consult an eye care professional.

Possible Side Effects:

• Temporary blurred vision after instillation

• Mild eye burning or stinging

• Excessive tearing (rare)

• Allergic reaction (very rare)

Storage:

• Store at 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F).

• Do not freeze.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Discard the bottle 30 days after opening or as indicated on the label.

Note:

Microsol is considered safe for frequent use and is non-medicated (contains no active pharmaceutical ingredients besides the lubricant). It is often recommended as part of ongoing management for chronic dry eye.
