Instructions for use
Before using the medication, you should read the information in the package insert. Visine pure tear instructions for use recommend applying 1-2 drops to the mucous membrane of the eye, first tilting your head back. To distribute the liquid evenly, blink several times. It is important not to touch the mucous membrane of the eye with the tip of the bottle to avoid the spread of microorganisms in it. The frequency of use of the drug is determined by human need. The manufacturer recommends applying drops 2-4 times a day.
Visine pure tear is available in two forms:
- ampoules for single use with a volume of 0.5 ml (10 pcs per package);
- reusable bottle of 10 ml (1 pcs per package).
How do the drops work?
After installing Pure Tear:
- The stability of the tear film increases. It is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the front of the eyeball and persists for 6-8 hours.
- Eyes are moisturized. The drug includes moisture-retaining agents that prevent the mucous membrane from drying out when there is a deficiency of natural tear fluid.
- Fatigue is eliminated. Clean tears help relieve eye strain.
- Provides protection for the conjunctiva and cornea. The cornea and conjunctiva suffer from the production of insufficient natural tears. They are damaged by “dry” friction when blinking. Discomfort appears in the eyes, the whites become red, and the risk of developing infectious diseases increases. With regular eye moistening, these troubles no longer bother the patient.
Visine Pure Tear is an ophthalmic drop that resembles the natural fluid produced by the lacrimal glands. Therefore, they are safe and effective to use. And due to the inclusion of water-retaining agents in the composition, the drug provides a long-lasting effect.
Contraindications
Visin Pure Tear has no contraindications for use, with the exception of individual hypersensitivity to the composition of eye drops. The drug is suitable for patients of different age categories, including newborns.
Studies have not been conducted to determine the effect of the drug on the fetus when Visin is used by a pregnant woman. It is also unknown how the drug acts on a baby when drops are installed by a nursing mother. However, it is believed that this ophthalmic solution, due to its high similarity to natural tear fluid, is safe, and therefore can be used to eliminate dry and tired eyes by women who are breastfeeding or pregnant.
special instructions
Patients should know the following:
- It is unacceptable to use drops from plastic ampoules if their integrity was damaged long before using the drops;
- The drug should be used so that the dropper tip does not touch the eyes and fingers. When microorganisms enter the solution, its sterility is impaired. This may cause the development of eye infections during subsequent installation of drops;
- If you do touch the IV, do not wash it. Getting untreated water and soap solution into the product will lead to a change in its physicochemical and medicinal properties;
- If you wear contact lenses, you can apply Visine moisturizing drops without removing them. This will not affect the effectiveness or duration of action of the drug in any way.
Attention! There is no need to remove lenses unless they are soft. If you use hard lenses, remove them first before installing drops. You can put them back in half an hour.
Is it possible to use Visin classic and Visin Alergy drops to moisturize the eyes?
Visin eye drops are available in three varieties:
- Alerjdi;
- Classical;
- A pure tear.
Despite the fact that all these drugs have the same name (Vizin), they have different compositions and have different actions. Therefore, they are shown to solve different problems:
- Alergy. This is an ophthalmic solution based on levocabastine, a substance with a pronounced antihistamine effect. It blocks the protein histamine, which, when exposed to certain substances (allergens), causes the development of allergic reactions. Visin Alergy's indications include only those eye pathologies that are caused by allergies;
- Classical. This is a drug created on the basis of tetrizoline, a substance with a vasoconstrictor effect. Classic Visin drops are a kind of first aid for the eyes. They cannot be used for a long time, but they quickly remove symptoms of irritation caused by fatigue and dry eyes, as well as allergic reactions;
- A pure tear. These are moisturizing drops that imitate the tear fluid naturally produced in the body. They are suitable only in cases where the eyes are irritated from dryness and overstrain.
Important! For dry eyes, you can only use Clean Tear; classic Visin and Alerji will relieve redness and irritation, but will further dry out the tear film and reduce the secretion of natural tears.

How eye drops work
Visin pure tear eye drops have a calming, enveloping and regenerating effect. The solution increases the strength of the natural eye film and relieves tension in the visual organs. After distribution over the mucous membrane, the active component instantly relieves irritation and discomfort from dryness, which can be caused by using contact lenses, working at a monitor, prolonged reading, watching TV, as well as dusty air. Drops are symptomatic remedies and eliminate the effects of exogenous factors, but do not eliminate the cause of irritation.
Visine pure tear is positioned in the instructions as a natural herbal remedy, approved for use even for school-age children and pregnant women. The polysaccharide included in its composition makes the drug as similar as possible to the natural tear produced in humans when blinking to moisturize the eye. Therefore, the product is approved for regular use and is not addictive.
By accelerating regeneration processes, drops restore and prolong the health of the cornea of the eye. The absence of preservatives in the composition of the drug allows it to be used while wearing contact lenses and in combination with other ophthalmic products.
