CLEAN-TEAR DROP

CLEAN-TEAR DROP

This image shows Clean-Tear Lubricant Eye Drops, containing Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Unlike the Moxin-Eye drops in your previous image, this is primarily a lubricating/artificial-tear preparation, not an antibiotic.

What the product contains

• Brand: CLEAN-TEAR
• Active ingredient: Carboxymethylcellulose
• Dosage form: Eye drops
• Volume: 10 mL
• Label: “Carboxymethylcellulose Eye Drops IP”
• Purpose: Lubricant / artificial tears
• The bottle shown corresponds to the carton.

What carboxymethylcellulose does

Carboxymethylcellulose is a lubricating polymer that helps retain moisture on the surface of the eye. It can temporarily relieve symptoms associated with dry or irritated eyes, including:

• Dryness
• Burning or stinging
• Gritty/sandy sensation
• Mild irritation
• Discomfort from prolonged screen use, air conditioning, wind, or low humidity

It does not kill bacteria, so it isn't a substitute for an antibiotic such as the moxifloxacin drops you showed earlier.

How it is generally used

For artificial tears, a common approach is to put 1 drop in the affected eye(s) when needed, but the exact frequency can vary according to the formulation and your doctor's instructions.

How to apply:

1. Wash your hands.
2. Tilt your head back and look upward.
3. Gently pull down the lower eyelid.
4. Put the prescribed/needed drop into the pocket without touching the eye with the bottle tip.
5. Close the eye gently for about 30–60 seconds.
6. Replace the cap.

Possible temporary effects

You may notice:

• Brief blurred vision immediately after the drop
• Mild stinging or irritation
• Temporary stickiness

If you develop persistent redness, significant pain, swelling, discharge, worsening vision, or strong light sensitivity, you should have the eye examined rather than continuing to self-treat.

Compared with your first bottle

So, if these two were prescribed together, they generally serve different purposes: Moxin-Eye addresses a suspected bacterial infection, while Clean-Tear lubricates and soothes the eye surface. The exact dosing and order should follow the prescription.
