Lubrex is a high-quality ophthalmic lubricant, typically containing Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) or a similar viscosity-enhancing polymer. It works by mimicking the natural tear film, providing a protective and soothing layer over the surface of the eye. By stabilizing the tear film and reducing evaporation, Lubrex effectively eliminates the "gritty" sensation, burning, and irritation caused by environmental factors or reduced tear production.
In Nigeria, Lubrex is a trusted clinical choice for managing "dry eye syndrome" and ocular fatigue. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, sterile eye drops stored in a cool, dark environment to maintain their preservative balance and soothing efficacy.
Important: Lubrex is intended for the relief of dryness and irritation and is not a treatment for eye infections (like "Apollo") or glaucoma. If you experience severe eye pain, sudden changes in vision, or persistent redness that does not improve with use, consult an ophthalmologist immediately. To prevent contamination, do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, including your eye or eyelashes.
Lubrex Eye Drops are primarily used to:
Provide rapid and sustained relief from dry, itchy, or burning eyes
Soothe ocular irritation caused by dust, smoke, wind, or dry air (Harmattan)
Relieve "digital eye strain" resulting from prolonged use of computers and smartphones
Provide comfort to contact lens wearers (check specific labeling for compatibility)
Protect the cornea from damage caused by severe dryness or lack of natural tears
Act as a "wash" to clear minor irritants or allergens from the eye surface
This product is suitable for:
Office workers and students who experience eye fatigue from screen time
Individuals living in dusty or low-humidity environments across Nigeria
Seniors who naturally produce fewer tears as they age
Patients recovering from certain eye surgeries who require extra lubrication (as directed)
People who suffer from seasonal allergies that cause dry, scratchy eyes
Not recommended for: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Carboxymethylcellulose or any of the preservatives in the formula. Discontinue use if you develop an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the eyelids or intense itching.
Wash your hands thoroughly before using the eye drops
Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket
Hold the dropper directly over the eye and squeeze out one or two drops as needed
Close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes and press gently on the corner of the eye (near the nose) to prevent the drop from draining away
You can use Lubrex as often as needed throughout the day, usually 3 to 4 times, or whenever your eyes feel dry
If you use other eye medications, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying the second product
Lubrex is generally very safe and non-irritating, but some individuals may experience:
Temporary blurred vision immediately after application (due to the thickness of the gel/liquid)
A mild, brief stinging or cooling sensation
Minor crusting on the eyelashes if the drops dry outside the eye
Rare: Increased redness or irritation in highly sensitive individuals
Discontinue use and seek medical attention if your eye symptoms worsen or if you experience a persistent headache or eye pain.
Various (Commonly associated with reputable ophthalmic leaders like Jawa, Hovid, or specialized eye-care firms) – These manufacturers utilize sterile-fill technology and pH-balanced formulas to ensure the drops are as close to natural human tears as possible.

Can I use Lubrex while wearing my contact lenses?
Many Lubrex formulas are safe for use with contacts, but some preservatives can discolor soft lenses. It is always best to remove your lenses, apply the drops, and wait 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in, unless the bottle specifically says "Contact Lens Safe."
How long can I keep the bottle once it is opened?
Most multi-dose eye drops like Lubrex must be discarded 28 days (4 weeks) after opening. This is because bacteria can enter the bottle once the seal is broken. Always write the date you opened it on the side of the box.
Is Lubrex an antibiotic?
No. Lubrex contains no antibiotics or steroids. It is a "lubricant" or "artificial tear" meant only to moisturize the eye. It will not cure a bacterial infection.
Where can I purchase Lubrex Eye Drops in Nigeria?
You can find authentic Lubrex and professional eye-care guidance at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed product quality and pharmaceutical care.
