Product Information
Full details
Optixcare Eye Lube Plus is an advanced, sterile ophthalmic lubricant specifically formulated for pet owners and veterinary professionals managing chronic dry eye conditions or providing corneal protection during surgical anesthesia. Combining the long-lasting retention of carbomer gel with the superior hydration properties of hyaluronic acid, this product creates a nourishing, moisture-retaining matrix that keeps the cornea lubricated. While it is highly effective at maintaining eye health, users should be aware that the thicker gel consistency requires a steady hand to ensure precise application without touching the tube tip to the eye surface.

FAQs
Can I use this for my dog and my cat?
Yes, Optixcare Eye Lube Plus is suitable for use in both dogs and cats.
How often should I apply the gel?
Frequency depends on the severity of the dry eye condition. Please follow the specific dosing instructions provided by your veterinarian.
Is it normal for my pet's vision to be blurry after application?
Yes, because the gel is viscous to provide long-lasting protection, mild, temporary blurring is a normal occurrence.
Does this product contain preservatives?
The sterile, gel-based formula is designed for safety, but please check the product packaging for specific ingredient lists regarding sensitivity.
What happens if the tube tip touches the eye?
If the tip contacts the eye, it may become contaminated. Wipe the tip clean with a sterile gauze pad and consider replacing the tube if you suspect contamination.
Troubleshooting
Gel is difficult to squeeze from the tube
Ensure the cap is fully removed and the tube is at room temperature; cold gel is significantly more viscous.
Pet resists the application
Try distracting the pet with a treat or having an assistant gently secure the head while you apply the gel from behind to keep the tube out of the pet's direct line of sight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the lubricant, store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Before application, ensure your hands are thoroughly washed to prevent introducing bacteria to the eye.
- Application Tip: Do not let the nozzle of the tube touch the eyelid, eyelashes, or the surface of the eye, as this can introduce contaminants into the tube.
- Compatibility: It is generally compatible with most standard veterinary eye care regimens, but consult your veterinarian if you are currently using other medicated drops.
- Care: Always replace the cap securely after each use to keep the remaining gel sterile.
