Key Features

  • Hydrates and lubricates the ocular surface
  • Relieves symptoms of dry eyes
  • Gel formulation retained on the eye, allowing less frequent administration

How to use

Adults (including the elderly): Instil one drop of the gel into the inferior conjunctival cul-de-sac 1 to 4 times daily according to the degree of ocular trouble.

The bottle must be discarded 28 days after opening.

Soft contact lenses should be removed before instillation and can be reinserted 30 minutes after application.

Children and adolescents aged to 18 years: The safety and efficacy of Liquivisc in children and adolescents at the posology recommended in adults has been established by clinical experience, but no clinical trial data are available.

After instillation, the bottle should be stored vertically with the dropper downwards to
facilitate the formation of drops when next used.

Do not touch the eye with the dropper tip. Replace the cap after use.
