Poly Tear Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Polyvinyl Alcohol (Including Pvp) and Povidone Iodine which treat dry eyes. Polyvinyl Alcohol (Including Pvp) is a lubricating medicine similar to natural tears. It provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to dryness of the eye. Povidone Iodine is an antiseptic. It kills bacteria and relieves minor irritation in the eye.

Your doctor has prescribed Poly Tear Eye Drop to reduce dryness in the eyes. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the medication. Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the bottle. Try to keep your environment less dry by reducing excessive use of room heaters or using a humidifier. Wear glasses or sunglasses to protect your eyes from wind and dust when out in a hot dry climate. Rest your eyes by taking regular breaks if you spend long periods in front of a screen.
