What Experts Say

Carbomer is a gel forming polymer that coats the surface of the eye with a thick, moisturizing layer. Unlike watery eye drops, this gel stays in contact with the eye for a much longer time, which is why it is designed for use at night rather than during the day when clear vision is needed.

Eye specialists commonly recommend gel based lubricants like this one for people with moderate to severe dry eye disease, especially those who wake up with dryness, redness or a scratchy feeling. Because the gel briefly blurs vision after application, experts advise using it only right before sleep.

This gel is generally considered safe for long term nightly use since it works on the surface of the eye rather than being absorbed into the body. People who wear contact lenses are usually advised to remove them before applying the gel, and anyone with persistent redness or pain should see an eye doctor rather than relying on lubricants alone.
