Viscotears Gel PF — Preservative-Free Unit Dose (30 Vials)
type: Product
description: ✔ Stock on hand — ships NZ-wide from Rose Optometry, Hamilton.The same gel, without the preservativeViscotears Gel PF is the same carbomer gel as the tube, supplied as 30 preservative-free single-dose vials. It is the version we steer most people toward, and the reason is straightforward.The standard Viscotears Liquid Gel contains cetrimide, a preservative. That is perfectly acceptable for occasional use. But a gel is typically dosed several times a day, and preservatives are hard on the ocular surface with repeated exposure. Do it every day for months and patients end up using more gel because their eyes are more irritated — which means more preservative, which means more irritation. We see that loop constantly.Take the preservative out and the ceiling disappears. You can dose as often as you genuinely need without the product itself becoming a factor, which is exactly what long-term dry eye management requires.The honest caveat: it costs more per dose than the tube. That is the trade and we won't pretend otherwise. If you reach for a gel occasionally — a windy day, a long flight — buy the tube and save your money.Who it's for Anyone dosing more than about four times a day. Sensitive or reactive ocular surfaces. Long-term, indefinite daily use. Anyone who finds preserved drops sting, or leave the eye red by evening. Not the economical choice for occasional users — buy the tube for that. Questions we get askedDoes it contain a preservative? No. That is the entire point of this version, and why it suits frequent dosing. The rule worth repeating: more than four doses a day, go preservative-free.Will it blur my vision? Briefly — usually under a minute. It is a gel, so more than a thin drop and far less than an ointment.Can I use it with contact lenses in? No. Take lenses out first and give it at least 30 minutes before reinserting. Being preservative-free does not change that — it is the gel's consistency that is the problem on a lens.Can I use one vial across the day?…
