Vislube Artificial Tears Sodium Hyaluronate 0.18% 20 vials (0.3 ml)

Vislube is a preservative-free unit-dose artificial tear containing Sodium Hyaluronate (HA) 0.18%. HA is a polysaccharide naturally present in the body — particularly in the vitreous humour of the eye and in joint fluid. Its outstanding water-retention capacity (up to 1,000 times its own weight) makes it an ideal lubricant for the ocular surface.

Mechanism: When instilled, HA forms a thin gel layer on the corneal surface that acts as an artificial tear film, reducing tear evaporation, minimising lid-cornea friction, and extending comfort for 2-4 hours per application. The preservative-free unit-dose design eliminates the risk of BAK-related toxicity, making Vislube safe for frequent daily use and sensitive eyes. Each 0.3 ml vial provides sufficient volume for both eyes in a single application.

Vislube relieves dry eye from various causes:

• Digital Eye Strain — reduced blink rate accelerates tear evaporation; HA replenishes the tear film
• Contact lens dryness — lenses absorb tears; Vislube's preservative-free formula lubricates safely while lenses are worn
• Environmental dryness — air conditioning, wind, and low humidity all increase evaporation
• Post-surgical dryness — after LASIK, PRK, or cataract surgery; HA drops commonly recommended during recovery
• Irritation from dust, smoke, and PM2.5 pollutants

Vislube is suitable for mild-to-moderate dry eye. Consult an ophthalmologist for severe or persistent symptoms.

How to instil Vislube:

• Wash hands thoroughly before use
• Twist or snap the vial tip at the score line
• Tilt head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid
• Hold tip 1-2 cm from the eye; squeeze 1-2 drops into the lower conjunctival sac
• Close eyes for 30-60 seconds; press the inner corner to reduce drainage
• Discard the opened vial immediately — single use only

Recommended dose: 1 vial per eye, 1-4 times daily or as needed
Contact lens wearers: apply directly with lenses in place
Children: use under adult or medical supervision

Vislube is generally very well tolerated as Sodium Hyaluronate is a naturally occurring substance. Uncommon side effects include:

• Temporary blurred vision for 1-2 minutes — from the HA film; resolves after a few blinks
• Slight sticky sensation — from the HA coating; harmless
• Brief mild stinging — very rare; discontinue if persistent

The preservative-free formulation eliminates the risk of BAK-related Toxic keratitis associated with long-term use of preserved multi-dose drops. Discontinue and seek medical advice if severe allergic reactions occur.

Contraindications:

• Known hypersensitivity to Sodium Hyaluronate or any excipient
• Active eye infection — treat the infection before using artificial tears

Precautions:

• Do not allow the vial tip to contact the eye or any surface to prevent contamination
• Discard each opened vial immediately — single use only, even if liquid remains
• Check the expiry date on the box and on individual vials before use
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• If using with other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between products; instil Vislube first
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: HA eye drops are generally considered safe as systemic absorption from ocular use is minimal; consult your doctor for reassurance
• Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) contact lens wearers should consult their ophthalmologist as HA may accumulate on RGP surfaces

Each artificial tear formula has different strengths. Choose based on your symptoms and lifestyle:

• Vislube (Sodium Hyaluronate 0.18%) — HA gel coating, 2-4 hours of moisture, preservative-free unit-dose, ideal for moderate dry eye and contact lens wearers (this product)
• Cellufresh (Carmellose CMC 0.5%) — fast-acting relief, clear vision after instillation, suitable for mild-to-moderate dry eye requiring immediate comfort
• Vidisic Eye Gel (Carbomer) — thick gel, long-lasting adhesion, best for nighttime use or severe dryness; may cause temporary blur

Quick guide: Choose Vislube for long-lasting moisture and contact lens compatibility / Cellufresh for immediate clarity / Vidisic for severe dryness or overnight use.

Vislube has no pharmacological activity and therefore has minimal drug interactions. However:

• Other eye drops — if used together, wait at least 5 minutes between products; instil Vislube first as it is a lubricant, not a treatment
• Anti-inflammatory or antibiotic eye drops — consult your doctor for the correct sequence
• Contact lenses — Vislube is compatible with lenses and will not damage them

For complex eye-drop regimens, consult a pharmacist or ophthalmologist for the optimal dosing schedule.

Comfort is typically felt within 30 seconds to 2 minutes after instillation as Sodium Hyaluronate rapidly integrates with the mucin layer of the cornea.

Average duration of relief: 2-4 hours, depending on:

• Severity of dry eye
• Environment (air conditioning or wind accelerates evaporation)
• Blink rate (reduced blinking during screen use shortens duration)
• Contact lens wearers may experience shorter duration than non-wearers

For moderate dry eye, 2-3 applications per day is usually sufficient. If more than 4 applications daily are needed consistently, consult an ophthalmologist to identify the underlying cause.
