###What is the active ingredient in Viscotears Liquid and how does it work?
Viscotears contain carbomer (polyacrylic acid) as its active ingredient, which is a type of polymer that works by increasing the thickness of the tears on the surface of the eye, providing lubrication and relief to dry and sore eyes. It is part of a group of eye drops known as "artificial tears" and should be used as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. However, if you experience any side effects, such as blurry vision, allergic reactions, or eye redness, swelling, pain, and itching, seek medical advice immediately.

###What are the common symptoms of dry eyes?
Dry eyes can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms that usually affect both eyes. These can include a stinging, burning or scratchy sensation in your eyes, sensitivity to light, eye redness, and a sensation of having something in your eyes. Other symptoms may include stringy mucus in or around your eyes, difficulty wearing contact lenses, difficulty with nighttime driving, watery eyes (which is the body's response to the irritation of dry eyes), and blurred vision or eye fatigue.
###What are common causes of dry eyes?
Dry eyes can be caused by various factors such as ageing, contact lens wear, prolonged screen time, exposure to air conditioning or heating, and environmental factors like wind, cold, dryness or dust. Additionally, lifestyle habits like smoking or alcohol consumption, certain medications such as antidepressants or blood pressure medicines, and underlying health conditions like blepharitis, Sjögren's syndrome or lupus can also contribute to the development of dry eyes.
###Can I share my Viscotears eye drops with others?
Do not share Viscotears eye drops with anyone else, as you may have an eye infection that you could pass on.
###Can I use Viscotears with other eye drops?
If you need to use more than one kind of eye drops, wait 5 minutes between treatments. Viscotears should always be the last of the eye drops used.
###Will using Viscotears affect my ability to drive or operate machinery?
Some people may find that their vision is blurred immediately after using Viscotears. If affected, wait until your vision clears before you drive or use machinery.
###How long does it take for dry eye gel to work?
You should notice improvement instantly, but it may take several weeks of treatment for full effect.
