Lacrisert (Generic name: Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Ophthalmic Insert) is an insert that is placed in your eye to relieve the symptoms associated with moderate to severe dry eye syndromes, including keratoconjunctivitis sicca. It is usually used when an artificial tears solution is not successful. It helps to retain eye moisture, decrease symptoms of dry eyes such as burning, itching, discomfort, and lubricate the eye. Follow the patient instructions for inserting and moving Lacrisert ophthalmic carefully.
The most common Lacrisert side effects are eye discomfort, irritation, redness, tearing, sensitivity to light, and temporary blurred vision. If any effects persist or worsen such as eye pain, vision changes or a sign of allergic reactions (e.g., difficult breathing; itching; rash; swelling), remove the insert or inform your doctor immediately.
Do NOT use Lacrisert if you are sensitivity to Hydroxypropyl Cellulose or any of the ingredients in Lacrisert medication. Before using Lacrisert ophthalmic insert, tell your doctor if you have had any medical conditions such as tell eye disease/infection/injury/surgery. Tell your doctor about all the prescriptions or over-the-counter (OTC) medications you use. They may interact with Lacrisert inserts. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
