Veldrop Lubricant Eye Drop is an artificial tear that contains carboxymethylcellulose 0.5%. It is used when the eyes do not make enough tears, or when screens, air conditioning, and dust leave them dry and gritty. The drop sits on the eye surface like a thin moisture film and eases burning, redness, and that sandy feeling. It does not treat infection. Use it as often as your doctor suggests, and finish or discard the bottle within four weeks of opening so the liquid stays clean.

How Does It Work?
Carboxymethylcellulose is a lubricant. It thickens the tear film for a short time and holds water on the surface of the eye. That extra film reduces friction each time you blink, so irritation from dryness settles until your own tears catch up.
Directions For Use
Wash your hands before use.
Shake the bottle if the label says so.
Tilt your head back and pull down the lower lid to make a small pocket.
Hold the dropper close, without touching the eye or lashes.
Squeeze one drop into the pocket.
Close the eye gently and press the inner corner near the nose for about one minute.
Wipe away extra liquid.
Wait 5 to 10 minutes before any other eye medicine.

FAQs
Q1. What is Veldrop Eye Drop used for?
Ans. It is an artificial tear for dry eyes. It eases burning, grittiness, and irritation when natural tears are not enough, or the air is very dry.
Q2. How often can I put Veldrop in my eyes?
Ans. Use it as often as your doctor advises, usually when the eyes feel dry. Do not use more drops than suggested just to get faster relief.
Q3. Can I wear contact lenses with this drop?
Ans. Do not use it while soft lenses are in the eye. Take the lenses out first and ask your doctor how long to wait before putting them back.
Q4. Why does my vision blur after the drop?
Ans. The thicker tear film can blur sight for a short time. It usually clears in a minute or two. Do not drive until you can see clearly again.
Q5. How long can I keep an opened bottle?
Ans. Use the bottle within four weeks of opening, even if some liquid remains. After that, germs can grow in the drops and irritate the eye.
Q6. Does Veldrop treat eye infection?
Ans. No. It only lubricates a dry eye. If there is pus, severe pain, light sensitivity, or worsening redness, stop and see a doctor.
