How Ocugel works
Ocugel is a lubricant. It works similar to natural tears and provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to dryness of the eye.
What if you forget to take Ocugel?
If you miss a dose of Ocugel, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.
- Your doctor has prescribed Ocugel to treat dry eye disease.
- It stabilizes the natural tear film and maintains necessary lubrication so your eyes don’t get dry and irritated.
- May require long-term use.
- Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop.
- Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution of this medicine.
- Stinging sensation may occur for 1-2 minutes. Notify your doctor if it persists for longer.
- Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
