Optive® Gel drops 10ml
OPTIVE® GEL DROPS have a unique dual-action formula that delivers long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms, with similar osmoprotectant benefits to OPTIVE FUSION™.1-3
High-viscosity OPTIVE® GEL DROPS are a drop formula with a high concentration of CMC (1%), spreading thinly across the eye to protect against further irritation.4,5
OPTIVE® GEL DROPS can be used in combination with other products from the OPTIVE® Family.3,6
Caking and blurring of vision are drawbacks of highly viscous agents such as ointments. Less viscous agents like OPTIVE® GEL DROPS help minimise these issues and are fully compatible with contact lens use.4
