About Vizcare Eye Drop
Vizcare Eye Drop is a lubricating eye drop containing Polyethylene Glycol 400 (0.4% w/v) and Propylene Glycol (0.3% w/v). This combination forms an effective artificial tear solution that closely mimics the natural properties of the tear film, providing quick and lasting relief from the symptoms of dry, irritated eyes.
Vizcare Eye Drop is suitable for people who experience discomfort from dry eye disease, prolonged screen use, air conditioning, contact lens wear, and environmental irritants — offering a gentle, non-irritating formulation suitable for regular daily use.
Uses of Vizcare Eye Drop
This medicine is commonly used for:
- Relieving dryness, burning, and gritty sensations in the eyes
- Providing lubrication for dry eye disease (keratoconjunctivitis sicca)
- Soothing eye irritation from digital screen use, air conditioning, or wind
- Lubricating eyes during and after contact lens wear
- Reducing discomfort from mild eye irritation due to environmental factors
Indications
Indicated as an ocular lubricant for the symptomatic relief of mild to moderate dry eye disease and ocular surface dryness secondary to aqueous-deficient or evaporative tear deficiency. The combination of Polyethylene Glycol 400 and Propylene Glycol provides both a viscous aqueous layer and a lipid-stabilising effect on the tear film.
How Vizcare Eye Drop Works
Polyethylene Glycol 400 and Propylene Glycol work together to coat the surface of the eye, supplementing the natural tear film that keeps the eye moist and comfortable. They provide a stable, lubricating layer that reduces friction between the eye surface and the eyelid, relieving the sensation of dryness and irritation.
Mechanism of Action
Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PEG 400) is a water-soluble polymer that increases the viscosity of the tear film, prolonging ocular surface contact time and providing sustained lubrication of the corneal and conjunctival epithelia. Propylene Glycol (PPG) acts as a humectant and co-solvent, attracting and retaining water on the ocular surface and stabilising the lipid layer of the tear film, reducing evaporation. Together, they restore the aqueous and lipid components of the tear film, reducing ocular surface friction and associated symptoms.
Key Benefits
- Rapid relief from dry, burning, or gritty eye sensations
- Dual-action formula stabilises both the aqueous and lipid layers of the tear film
- Gentle, preservative-free-compatible formulation suitable for sensitive eyes
- Suitable for use alongside contact lens wear
Did You Know?
Dry eye is now considered one of the most common eye conditions globally, with digital device use being a major contributing factor — people blink significantly less often when staring at screens, reducing natural tear distribution. Lubricating drops like Vizcare help replenish what screen time reduces.
When & How to Take
Instil Vizcare Eye Drop into the affected eye(s) as directed by your doctor or as needed for symptom relief. Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and apply the drop gently. Blink a few times to spread the drop across the eye surface.
Always follow the dosage and schedule advised by your doctor — this is general guidance only.
Possible Side Effects
Vizcare Eye Drop is generally very well tolerated. Mild, transient blurring of vision immediately after instillation may occur — this resolves quickly. Occasional mild stinging upon application may be noticed. Tell your doctor if any side effect is severe or persistent.
Precautions & Safety
- For ophthalmic use only — do not ingest
- Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, the eye, or your fingers to avoid contamination
- If you wear contact lenses, remove them before instilling and reinsert only after a few minutes
- Discard the bottle as per the expiry and after-opening period stated on the packaging
- Inform your doctor if you have any known eye conditions or are using other eye medications
Myths vs Facts
Lubricating eye drops are habit-forming and will make your eyes dependent on them.
Lubricating drops like Vizcare simply supplement your natural tears — they do not reduce your body's ability to produce tears. They can be used as needed without concern for dependency.
Any redness-relief eye drop is fine to use for dry eyes.
Redness-relief drops typically contain vasoconstrictors that shrink blood vessels — they do not lubricate the eye. For dry eye symptoms, dedicated lubricant drops like Vizcare are appropriate.
