Description

Optometrist Verified I-Drop Pur Gel FAQs

I-DROP PUR GEL is a Real Eyes Optometry recommended, preservative-free, gel artificial tear that is great for everyday and long-lasting relief. It’s a non-prescription gel that provides superior moisturizing and lubrication for moderate to severe dry eye symptoms including allergies and red eyes associated with digital eye strain.

Do Gel Drops Work?

Absolutely. While similar to eye drops, gels will be more effective for long term lubrication needed for severe symptoms caused by dry eye.

What Are The Benefits Of I-Drop Pur Gel?

 

Advanced Dry Eye Relief

Eye drops can ease dry eye symptoms in the short-term, but for prolonged relief of discomfort, I-Drop Pur gel is a non-blurring application. It provides long term lubrication that protects your eyes against exposure to wind, sun, water, and other irritants.

Higher Hydration

It offers a higher hydration capability and stabilizes the lipid layer of the tear film, resulting in superior comfort for the patient. The viscoadaptive property of I-DROP® PUR GEL contains 0.30% hyaluronan with added glycerin.

This formulation allows the drops to move back and forth across the surface of the eye with every blink, allowing for a longer residence time. 

Ease of Use 

When drops are instilled, the distinctive one-way valve helps you aim, prevents wasted product, and eliminates any chance of the product re-entering the bottle. This ensures sterile delivery of each drop.

Can I Use I-Drop Pur Gel with Contacts?

Yes! One of the incredible benefits of I-DROP PUR GEL is that it is a contact lens compatible, preservative-free gel that provides superior comfort.

How Long Can I-Drop Pur Gel Be Used Once The Bottle Has Been Opened?

This product is intended to be used within 12 months of opening. Do not use it beyond the expiry date.

How Often Can You Use I-Drop Pur?

Use in the affected eye(s) up to 4 times a day, as needed, or as directed by your eye doctor.

What is the Difference Between Thealoz Duo & I-Drop Pur Gel?

Thealoz Duo Eye Drops, #1 Best drops for dry eyes

Mild to Moderate Dry Eyes

Real Eyes Optometry will be switching from iDrop Pur to Thealoz Duo eye drops due to Thealoz Duo’s dual-action formula (hyaluronic acid + trehalose), which provides longer-lasting hydration and enhanced ocular protection for dry eyes. Please contact us for more details.

I-Drop Pur Gel Dry Eye Drops

Moderate to Severe Dry Eyes 

I-Drop Pur Gel treats moderate to severe dry eye symptoms. It can be used at nighttime, during the day and in the morning.

What are the storage instructions for i-drop pur gel?

Store i-drop pur gel at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.

Is i-drop pur gel suitable for all age groups?

Yes, it is generally safe for use in adults and children. However, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider for specific age-related recommendations.

Can I use i-drop pur gel if I have an eye infection?

If you have an eye infection, consult your eye care professional before using eye drops.

What should I do if I accidentally use too many drops?

Using more drops than recommended is unlikely to cause harm. If you experience any discomfort, rinse your eyes with water and consult your eye care professional if necessary.

Can i-drop pur gel be used after eye surgery?

Yes, these drops can be used after eye surgery to alleviate dryness and irritation. However, always follow your surgeon’s specific recommendations.

Is I-DROP PUR GEL one of the best drops for dry eyes during cold winters?

For moderate to severe dryness, many patients in Vancouver like the gel texture because it lasts longer between blinks. If your eyes burn in cold wind or dry indoor heat, this gel can feel smoother than thin dry eye drops. If you need to use any drop more than 4 times a day, book a dry eye check so we can treat the cause and not only the symptoms.

Dry eyes at night are my worst time, should I pick I-DROP PUR GEL or a thicker ointment

Start with I-DROP PUR GEL at bedtime if you still want clear morning vision. If your lids do not close fully, or you wake with stuck lids, a nighttime ointment may seal better. We can check for incomplete lid closure in a short visit and build a night routine that works for you.

I wear daily contacts, can I use I-DROP PUR GEL on lens days or only when lenses are out

Use gel when lenses are out, then insert lenses after comfort returns. For on eye comfort while wearing lenses, use a contact compatible rewetting drop. Ask us to map a schedule for your exact lens brand so your lenses and gel play nicely together.

Are there budget friendly ways to use I-DROP PUR GEL without overbuying?

Yes. Many patients use a thin preservative free tear by day and I-DROP PUR GEL at night. That two step plan often reduces how often you need to dose. Watch for clinic bundles and ask about refill timing so you buy on a cadence that matches your symptoms.

Do MSP or Fair PharmaCare in BC cover dry eye drops?

MSP generally does not cover over-the-counter lubricating drops. Some extended plans or Health Spending Accounts reimburse with a receipt. If your plan asks for documentation, we can provide a care note.

s I-DROP PUR GEL better than regular dry eye drops if I sit at a screen all day?

If your blink rate is low on screens, gel can last longer and cut the number of doses. If vision feels smeary right after instilling, use a small drop and blink slowly for a minute. If you still need frequent applications, that is a sign to check meibomian gland function and tear evaporation.
