Polyvisc Eye Drop is a combination of two lubricating medicines: Polyethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol, which treats dry eyes. They work similar to natural tears and provide temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to dryness of the eye.

Your doctor has prescribed Polyvisc Eye Drop to reduce dryness in the eyes. 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.
