Indications
Refresh Plus is a lubricant eye drop that is used for moisturizing relief much like natural tears. It is available in a box of 30 single-dose containers with each container containing 0.4 mL of the solution.
Refresh Plus eye drops offer temporary relief of burning, irritation, and discomfort due to dryness of the eye or exposure to wind or sun. It can provide immediate, soothing relief for dry, irritated eyes and is suitable for all contact lens wearers.
Use and Dosage
Here are the general instructions on how to use Refresh Plus 30x0.4mL:
- Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the eye drops.
- Remove one vial from the package and twist off the top to open it.
- Tilt your head back and look up.
- Using your index finger, gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a pocket.
- Hold the vial upside down and squeeze the prescribed amount of eye drops into the pocket formed by your lower eyelid. Instill 1 or 2 drops into eye as frequently as required and discard unused contents.
- Close your eye and press gently on the inner corner of your eye with your fingertip for about one minute. This helps to prevent the medication from draining out, and allows the eye drops to be absorbed.
If you are using other eye drops or medications, wait at least 5 minutes before using them. Discard the empty vial after use.
