Descriptive sheet ALTIAL
Lubricating ophthalmic gel
Description
Lubricating ophthalmic gel, also for use during diagnostic tests with gonioscolpium.
Carbomer has mucoadhesive properties and lubricates the eye by uniformly coating the corneal and conjunctival surfaces, keeping the ocular surface comfortable.
Altial gel is indicated to relieve the symptoms of dryness, discomfort, foreign body sensation, and minor irritation caused by dry eye syndrome, providing long-lasting relief.
During diagnostic examinations, it can also be used as a coupling gel to maintain the shape of the cornea and minimize refraction between the patient's eye and the multi-mirror prism of the gonioscope, during image acquisition with that instrument.
How to use
Remove the cap from the tube, tilt your head back, and pull down the lower eyelid with your index finger to form a sac.
Squeeze the product slowly until a small drop forms at the end of the tube and spread it evenly over the inside of the eyelid.
Blink two or three times to spread the gel evenly across the eye and wipe away any excess gel around the eyelids.
Make sure to close the tube.
Instill one drop of product into the eyes 3-4 times a day or as needed.
