Product introduction
Lubistar Eye Drop is a lubricating eye preparation built around carboxymethylcellulose, an ingredient that coats the surface of the eye with a thin layer of moisture. It is used to ease the dryness, grittiness, and mild irritation that can come from long screen use, dry weather, ageing, or reduced natural tear production. The added oxychloro complex acts as a gentle preservative system, making the drop suitable for regular use without harming the eye's surface. Many people use it a few times a day for ongoing comfort rather than as a treatment for infection.
Storage: Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Uses of Lubistar Eye Drop
- Relief from dry, irritated eyes
- Lubrication of the eye surface
- Temporary relief from burning and stinging caused by dryness
- Reduction of eye redness linked to dryness
Benefits of Lubistar Eye Drop
By replacing some of the eye's natural tear film, Lubistar Eye Drop helps reduce the scratchy, burning feeling that comes with dry eyes and keeps the surface of the eye smoother and more comfortable. Regular use can lower redness and irritation caused by dryness and make everyday activities like reading, screen work, or being outdoors in wind or air-conditioning more comfortable.
Side effects of Lubistar Eye Drop
Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if they persist.
- Mild stinging or burning right after applying the drop
- Temporary blurred vision immediately after use
- Eye irritation or itching
- Watering of the eyes
How to use Lubistar Eye Drop
Wash your hands before use and tilt your head back slightly. Gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket and place one drop inside without letting the dropper tip touch the eye or eyelid. Close your eyes gently for a few moments to let the drop spread evenly, and use it as often as your doctor recommends for comfort.
How Lubistar Eye Drop works
Carboxymethylcellulose is a lubricant that binds water to the surface of the eye, forming a smooth, moist layer that mimics natural tears and protects the surface from drying out. This eases friction each time you blink and reduces the irritation caused by an unstable or insufficient tear film.
