Tears Guard Drops

Tears Guard Drops

Description:

Tears Guard 0.3% Eye Drops 15 ml is a sterile ophthalmic lubricant solution containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, designed to act as artificial tears for dry, irritated eyes. As an eye medication and tear substitute, it forms a protective, moist film over the eye surface to relieve burning, grittiness, and discomfort caused by reduced tear production or environmental factors. Suitable for regular use under medical supervision, Tears Guard Drops help maintain ocular surface hydration and comfort in conditions such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca and other dry eye disorders.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms of dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), including burning, stinging, foreign body sensation, and eye fatigue.
• Lubrication and protection of the cornea in cases of recurrent corneal erosions.
• Supportive treatment in decreased corneal sensitivity and exposure keratitis.
• Management of neuroparalytic keratitis as a protective ocular lubricant.
• Lubrication for artificial eyes (prosthetic eyes) to improve comfort and reduce friction.
• Temporary relief of dryness and irritation due to wind, sun, air conditioning, prolonged screen use, or contact lens wear (if approved by your eye doctor).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hypromellose) – 0.3% w/v (3 mg/ml) ophthalmic solution.
• Other excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (e.g., buffers, preservatives, tonicity agents) is not provided in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.). Please refer to the product leaflet or outer carton for complete composition.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Recommended dose (adults and elderly): Instill 1–2 drops into the affected eye(s) as needed, usually 3–4 times daily or as directed by your ophthalmologist.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
• Shake the bottle gently if instructed on the label.
• Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket, and hold the bottle above the eye without touching the eye or eyelashes.
• Squeeze the bottle to instill the prescribed number of drops into the conjunctival sac, then close your eyes gently for 1–2 minutes. Do not blink excessively or rub your eyes.
• If using more than one ophthalmic product, leave at least 5–10 minutes between applications. Use Tears Guard Drops last if it is a thicker lubricant, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
• Contact lens wearers: Unless your doctor advises otherwise, remove contact lenses before instillation and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them, especially if the product contains preservatives.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye, to avoid contamination.
• Use only in the eyes (ophthalmic use). Do not inject or swallow.
• Duration of use: Can be used long term under medical supervision for chronic dry eye. If symptoms worsen or do not improve within a few days, consult your doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides long-lasting lubrication and moisture to the ocular surface, helping to relieve dryness, burning, and irritation.
• Forms a protective film over the cornea, reducing friction between the eyelid and eye surface, especially in recurrent corneal erosions and exposure keratitis.
• Helps stabilize the tear film and reduce evaporation-related discomfort in dry eye syndrome.
• Improves visual comfort during prolonged screen time, reading, driving, or exposure to air conditioning and environmental irritants.
• Enhances comfort in patients with artificial eyes by acting as a smooth lubricant between the prosthesis and surrounding tissues.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use Tears Guard Drops if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or any of the other components of the formulation.
• For ophthalmic use only. Do not inject or ingest.
• If you experience severe eye pain, sudden changes in vision, persistent redness, or worsening irritation, stop use and seek medical advice promptly.

• Use with other eye medications: Inform your doctor about all eye drops, ointments, or systemic medications you are using. Maintain at least a 5–10 minute interval between different eye products.
• Contact lens wearers: Some formulations may contain preservatives that can be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Follow your eye care professional’s advice regarding lens wear and timing of instillation.
• Do not share your eye drops with others to avoid cross-infection.
• May cause temporary blurred vision immediately after instillation. Do not drive or operate machinery until your vision is clear.
