LUBRICANT EYE OINTMENT

I-DEFENSE®
For Nighttime Use as a Lubricant to Relieve Dryness of the Eye
I-DEFENSE® is a long-lasting, lubricating ointment that relieves burning, irritation, and discomfort due to nighttime eye dryness.
Containing lanolin, mineral oil, and petrolatum, I-DEFENSE®’s formulation is extremely effective at providing immediate relief at night for patients suffering from eye dryness and is well tolerated by the patient. It can also help to reduce irritation from sun or wind exposure that may have occurred during the day.
I-DEFENSE® is recommended for nighttime use. Upon application, the patient may experience a foreign body sensation that will pass after several blinks. If used during the day, it is recommended that the patient does not drive a car or operate heavy machinery, as their vision may be blurry due to the consistency of the ointment. I-DEFENSE® is most effective when used at night while the patient is asleep, which allows the ointment to remain on the cornea longer.
Do not use I-DEFENSE® with contact lenses.
