Indications

Eyetear Eye Drop 5% v/v is indicated for:

• Preoperative antisepsis before ocular surgery

• Disinfection of the ocular surface prior to procedures

• Prevention of postoperative eye infections

• Management of certain external ocular infections as directed by a physician

It is intended strictly for ophthalmic use under professional supervision.

Mechanism of Action

Povidone Iodine works by slowly releasing free iodine when applied to tissues. Free iodine penetrates microbial cell walls and disrupts protein and nucleic acid structure, leading to rapid destruction of microorganisms. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it effective against a wide variety of pathogens without promoting microbial resistance.

Dosage and Administration

• Use only as directed by an ophthalmologist or healthcare professional.

• Typically applied as one or more drops to the affected eye before surgical or diagnostic procedures.

• For infection management, the dosing schedule depends on the severity and clinical indication.

• Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.

• Wash hands thoroughly before and after application.

The duration of use depends on medical advice and the specific clinical requirement.

Precautions and Warnings

• For external ophthalmic use only.

• Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to iodine or povidone.

• Temporary irritation or staining may occur after application.

• Prolonged or excessive use should be avoided unless recommended by a healthcare provider.

• Inform the doctor if you have thyroid disorders, as iodine absorption may rarely affect thyroid function with repeated use.
