Soybean oil eye drops for dry eyes

About soybean oil eye drops

Emustil® is a lubricating eye drop, also known as an 'artificial tear'. Emustil® eye drops contain two ingredients - soybean oil and natural phospholipids. Soybean oil relieves eye dryness and soreness. The natural phospholipids are substances which are naturally found in your tears, but which can be reduced in people with dry eyes. The eye drops moisten, soothe and lubricate the surface of your eye, making it feel more comfortable.

Emustil® eye drops are available on prescription, or you can buy them without a prescription through a pharmacy.

1. اغسل يديك جيدًا قبل استخدام القطرات.

2. Twist off the tip of a single-dose unit.

3. أمل رأسك قليلاً للخلف واسحب الجفن السفلي لعينك للأسفل لتشكيل جيب.

4. Hold the unit upside down near to your eye. Try not to touch your eye as you do this.

5. اضغط بشكل كافٍ لإطلاق قطرة واحدة في عينك. استخدم قطرة ثانية فقط إذا لم تصل القطرة الأولى إلى عينك.

6. أغلق عينك لمدة دقيقة أو دقيقتين، واضغط بلطف على جانب أنفك حيث يلتقي زاوية عينك بأنفك. هذا يساعد على منع القطرة من التصريف ويبقيها في عينك.

7. Repeat the process in your other eye if required.

• Before you start using the eye drops, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet supplied with the pack. It will give you more information about using the drops and will provide a list of any side-effects which you could experience.

• Use one drop into the eye (or eyes) affected by dryness. You can use the drops up to four times a day. If the drops have been prescribed for you then you should follow the directions given to you by your doctor.

• If you forget to use the drops at your 'usual' time, do not worry; just put them in when you remember. Do not 'double up' the number of drops you use to make up for forgetting to use them.

• When first put in, the eye drops can cause blurred vision. This should quickly clear. Make sure you can see clearly again before you drive and before you use tools or machines.

• If you are using any other eye drops or ointments, leave about ten minutes between applying each one. It is usually recommended that you use lubricating drops like Emustil® last. This is so that the drops stay in contact with your eye and lubricate it for as long as possible.

• If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, see your doctor for further advice.

Soybean oil eye drops are unlikely to cause any side-effects.

• احفظ جميع الأدوية بعيدًا عن متناول ورؤية الأطفال.

• احفظه في مكان بارد وجاف، بعيدًا عن الحرارة المباشرة والضوء.

• The units should be used as soon as they are opened. Do not store an opened unit to use later. This is because the units do not contain any preservative.
