Table of contents:

Tears Plus appears to be a brand of eye drops used to relieve dry, irritated eyes. The active ingredients of Tears Plus may include polyvinyl alcohol, povidone, and chlorbutanol, and potential common side effects may vary from mild to severe.

Eye lubricants keep the eye moist, help to protect the eye from injury and infection, and decrease symptoms of dry eyes such as burning, itching, and feeling as if something is in the eye.

Use and Dosage

You should check the label of the eye drops to see if they are safe to use with contact lenses. Some eye drops are not compatible with certain types of contact lenses, while others are specifically designed for use with contact lenses.

To use Tears plus Eye lubricant/eye drops:

  1. Start by washing your hands to remove any dirt or bacteria that may be present.
  2. Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  3. Gently squeeze one or two drops of the eye drops into the pocket without touching the dropper to your eye.
  4. Finally, close your eye for a moment to allow the drops to spread.
  5. You can repeat this process for the other eye if necessary.

Follow the instructions on the package or those provided by your healthcare provider. If you are unsure about how to use the product properly, it is recommended that you consult with your healthcare provider or a pharmacist.
