Clinitas Carbomer 0.2 Gel Dry eyes, or dry eye disease is considered a common condition that occurs when your eyes aren’t lubricated adequately by tears. This can be caused by a myriad of reason, making the tears inadequate and unstable. For instance, dry eyes can occur if the tears produced by the eyes aren’t ‘high-quality’ or are ‘poor-quality’. This eventually leads to inflammation and damage of the cornea (surface of the eye) and will more than likely require treatment, such as Clinitas Carbomer Gel. There is a potential risk of contamination of specific brands of carbomer eye gels with a type of bacteria called Burkholderia cenocepacia. An investigation by UKHSA has identified a potential association with these specific eye gels. Investigation and testing are still ongoing and these eye gels are being recalled as a precaution.

In addition to using the preparation consistently as directed, you should follow the recommendations below:Using Clinitas Carbomer Dry Eye Gel for the first time can cause your vision to become blurred if too much of the gel is applied at one time, or if the medicine is used more often than required. This can last for up to 1 hour. If you’re affected you may be able to speed up recovery of normal vision by blinking vigorously for a few seconds. If this doesn’t work, try to gently rub the eyelid. This will cause the gel to collect in the conjunctival sac beneath the eye where it can no longer affect vision out of one or both eyes. Like with all medicines, Clinitas Eye Gel Side Effects can occur, although not everybody will experience them. The eyes may sting a little when the drops are first applied. These effects will usually wear off within a few minutes. If you’re pregnant or breast-feeding do not use Clinitas Carbomer 0.2 Gel. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

If you are currently taking, have recently or might take other medications in the future, please speak to a doctor before using Clinitas Eye Gel.
