You should not use an ocular lubricant if you are allergic to it. Ocular lubricant will not treat or prevent an eye infection.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to use this medicine if you have any type of infection in your eye.

Do not allow the dropper or tube tip to touch any surface, including the eyes or hands. If the dropper or tube becomes contaminated it could cause an infection in your eye, which can lead to vision loss or serious damage to the eye.

Stop using ocular lubricant and call your doctor if you have severe burning, stinging, irritation, eye pain, or vision changes.

This medication may cause blurred vision. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be able to see clearly.

How should I use optive (ocular lubricant)?

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Do not use this medication while wearing contact lenses. Eye medication may contain a preservative that can discolor soft contact lenses. Wait at least 15 minutes after using this medication before putting your contact lenses in. Wash your hands before using ocular lubricant.

To apply the eye drops:

• 
  

  Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above the eye with the tip down. Look up and away from the dropper as you squeeze out a drop, then close your eye.

  
  


• 
  

  Use only the number of drops your doctor has prescribed.

  
  


• 
  

  Gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye (near your nose) for about 1 minute to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct. If you use more than one drop in the same eye, wait about 5 minutes before putting in the next drop.

  
  


• 
  

  Do not use the eye drops if the liquid has changed colors or has particles in it.

  
  

To apply the ointment:

• 
  

  Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the ointment tube with the tip pointing toward this pocket. Look up and away from the tip.

  
  


• 
  

  Squeeze out a ribbon of ointment 1/2-inch long into the lower eyelid pocket without touching the tip of the tube to your eye. Look down and close your eyes for a few minutes. Rolling your eyes around gently will help spread the ointment evenly.

  
  


• 
  

  After opening your eyes, you may have blurred vision for a short time. Avoid driving or doing anything that requires you to be able to see clearly.

  
  

Do not allow the dropper or tube tip to touch any surface, including the eyes or hands. If the dropper or tube becomes contaminated it could cause an infection in your eye, which can lead to vision loss or serious damage to the eye.

Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse while you are using ocular lubricant. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle or tube tightly closed when not in use.
