Medicine Description vidisec
Vidisic Eye Gel is an ophthalmic preparation that belongs to the class of ocular lubricants and artificial tears. It
contains the active ingredient carbomer, which forms a protective, moisturizing layer that helps compensate for the
deficiency of natural tears.
It effectively relieves irritation, burning, and itching associated with dry eyes, provides long-lasting comfort
during reading or prolonged screen use, reduces the sensation of having a foreign body or sand in the eye, and
delivers adequate lubrication to help protect the cornea and ocular surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Vidisic be used with contact lenses?
It is recommended to remove contact lenses before using the gel, especially if it contains preservatives, and wait at
least 15 minutes before reinserting them. If you have severe dry eyes, your physician may advise reducing contact lens
wear during treatment.
Can Vidisic be used before bedtime?
Yes. The gel can be applied before bedtime because it provides long-lasting lubrication and helps reduce dry eye
symptoms throughout the night, particularly in people with severe dry eye.
What is the difference between eye drops and Vidisic Eye Gel?
Eye drops provide rapid lubrication and are suitable for frequent daytime use, whereas the gel has a thicker
consistency that provides longer-lasting lubrication. Therefore, it is often preferred for nighttime use or in cases
of severe dry eye.
Should Vidisic be stored in the refrigerator?
No. Vidisic does not require refrigeration. It should be stored at room temperature away from excessive heat and
direct sunlight, and the tube should be tightly closed after each use.
