The Bausch & Lomb Liposic Ophthalmic Gel is a highly viscous, clear gel designed for relief of moderate to severe dry eye conditions. This ophthalmic gel spreads rapidly across the conjunctiva and cornea and forms a protective film with a long corneal contact time. It is suitable for use day or night and is intended for users seeking extended moisture on the ocular surface.
Key benefits
- Highly viscous and clear gel that covers the ocular surface quickly for rapid relief.
- Replaces all three layers of the tear film and forms a lasting protective film.
- Average pH of 7.4, closely matching natural tears for comfort and compatibility.
- Long-lasting relief with reduced need for frequent application compared with traditional drops.
- Preservative runoff well tolerated, with cetrimide (0.01%) included for stability.
Ingredients and how they help you
- Carbomer 980 — thickening agent that helps the gel stay on the eye longer, providing extended lubrication.
- Cetrimide — preservative that supports product integrity while remaining well tolerated by many users.
- Sorbitol — provides gentle sweetness and helps maintain the gel’s consistency for smooth application.
- Medium-chain triglycerides — act as an emollient to improve spread and comfort on the ocular surface.
- Sodium hydroxide (for pH adjustment) — helps maintain a physiologic pH similar to tears.
- Purified water — base solvent to deliver the gel evenly across the eye.
