Indications & Clinical Uses

Lacryvisc is an ocular viscosity agent used to manage conditions affecting the tear film and ocular surface.

  • Dry eye disease: provides long‑lasting lubrication to relieve dryness and irritation.
  • Contact lens discomfort: reduces friction and improves comfort during lens wear.
  • Post‑operative ocular irritation: protects the cornea and promotes healing after eye surgery.
  • Environmental eye strain: mitigates dryness caused by low humidity or wind exposure.

How It Works

  • Carbomer 974P is a high‑molecular‑weight polymer that swells upon hydration, forming a viscous gel on the ocular surface. This gel enhances tear film stability, creates a protective barrier, and prolongs the residence time of the lubricant, thereby reducing friction and alleviating surface dryness.

Side Effects

Lacryvisc may cause ocular reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

  • Transient blurred vision: temporary visual disturbance after instillation.
  • Mild ocular irritation: sensation of burning or stinging.
  • Tearing: increased tear production.
  • Redness of the conjunctiva: mild hyperemia.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reaction: swelling, itching, or rash around the eye.
  • Severe eye inflammation: marked redness, pain, or swelling.
  • Corneal ulceration or vision loss: rare but requires immediate medical attention.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Lacryvisc, consider the following safety measures.

  • Hypersensitivity: discontinue if signs of allergic reaction appear.
  • Pre‑existing eye infection: consult a clinician before application.
  • Contact lens wearers: remove lenses before instillation and re‑insert after a few minutes.
  • Use with caution in patients undergoing ocular surgery.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Lacryvisc may interact with other ophthalmic products; monitor for combined effects.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with ophthalmic solutions containing preservatives that can increase irritation.
  • Simultaneous administration with topical antibiotics that may be diluted, reducing efficacy.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Use with other ocular lubricants may cause excess viscosity and blurred vision.
  • Combination with anti‑inflammatory eye drops may alter drug distribution on the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lacryvisc is an ophthalmic viscosity agent designed to lubricate the ocular surface. It is commonly employed to relieve dryness, improve comfort for contact lens wearers, and protect the eye after surgical procedures.

Carbomer 974P is a polymer that absorbs water and forms a gel‑like layer on the eye. This layer increases tear film stability, reduces friction, and maintains moisture, thereby alleviating symptoms of dry eye and irritation.

The dosing regimen for Lacryvisc is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition and response. Typically, one to two drops are instilled in the affected eye(s) as needed.

Safety data for Lacryvisc in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers should evaluate the risk‑benefit profile before prescribing it to pregnant or nursing individuals.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.

Lacryvisc uses Carbomer 974P, which creates a higher‑viscosity gel compared with many traditional aqueous eye drops. This can offer longer‑lasting relief but may cause transient blurred vision, whereas simpler drops may require more frequent application.

Store Lacryvisc at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from direct sunlight and moisture, and avoid freezing.

Lacryvisc is applied topically to the eye. The patient should wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops onto the conjunctival sac without touching the bottle tip to the eye.

Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as swelling or rash around the eye, severe inflammation, and, in extreme cases, corneal ulceration or vision loss. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to Carbomer 974P or any excipients in the formulation should avoid Lacryvisc. Patients with active ocular infections should consult a healthcare professional before use.
