Overview Optifrresh 1% Eye Gel
Dry eye relief is provided by the lubricating eye gel, Optifresh 1%. This gel acts as artificial tears, addressing insufficient tear production causing dryness, burning, and irritation. Application is as-needed, with dosage determined by your physician. Allow 5-10 minutes between Optifresh 1% and other eye medications to prevent dilution. Discard any bottle with a broken seal. Maintain hand hygiene and avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent infection. Long-term use is safe and may be necessary. Common, usually temporary, side effects include eye irritation (burning, discomfort), pain, itching, and blurred vision. Persistent or worsening side effects warrant medical attention. Refrain from driving or operating machinery until vision is clear. Report any treatment inefficacy or bothersome side effects to your doctor.
