Indications
Duolube Eye Ointment is a product that provides relief for dry, irritated eyes. It is designed to soothe and comfort the eyes, temporarily relieving burning and irritation. The ointment contains lubricants that help to relieve dryness and protect against further irritation.
Use and Dosage
Follow all directions on the product package. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Do not use a solution that has changed colour or is cloudy. Certain brands (containing glycerin with polysorbates, among other ingredients) may have a milky appearance. This is okay as long as the solution does not change colour. Some eye drops need to be shaken before use. Check the label to see if you should shake your product before using it.
Usually, drops may be used as often as needed. Ointments are usually used 1 to 2 times daily as needed. If using an ointment once a day, it may be best to use it at bedtime.
To apply eye ointment/drops/gels:
- Wash hands first. To avoid contamination, be careful not to touch the dropper or top of the ointment tube or let it touch your eye. Always replace the cap tightly after each use.
- Tilt your head back, look up, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch.
- For drops/gels, place the dropper directly over the eye and squeeze out 1 or 2 drops as needed. Look down and gently close your eyes for 1 or 2 minutes.
- Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye.
- For an ointment, hold the tube directly over the eye and gently squeeze a small strip (one-fourth of an inch or roughly 6 millimeters) of ointment into the pouch.
- Release the eyelid, close the eye, and slowly roll your eye in all directions to spread the medication.
- Blot away any extra ointment from around the eye with a clean tissue.
If you are also using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using most kinds of eye lubricants. Ask your doctor or pharmacist when you can replace your contact lenses. There are a few types of eye lubricants (some that contain polysorbates) that can be used while wearing contact lenses. Check the package to see if you can wear your contact lenses while using your product.
