Celluvisc 1% eye drops

Celluvisc is for ocular use (applied on the eye).
Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse has told you. Check with your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are not sure.
The recommended dose is 1-2 drops of Celluvisc in the affected eyes as needed.
Make sure that the single-dose container is intact before use. The solution should be used immediately after opening. To avoid contamination or possible eye injury, do not let the open-end of the singledose container touch your eye or anything else. Wash your hands before use.

1. Tear one single-dose container from the strip.
2. Hold the single-dose container upright (with the cap uppermost) and twist off the cap.
3. Gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket. Turn the single-dose container upside down and squeeze it to release one drop into each eye. Blink your eyes a few times. Do not re-use the single-dose container even if there is some solution left. It is most important that you throw it away and do not keep it.
If irritation, pain, redness or changes in vision occur or if you feel your condition is getting worse, stop taking this medicine and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
