Product introduction

CCS Gel is an eye lubricant used to relieve dryness and discomfort in the eyes. Dryness may occur when your eyes do not produce enough natural tears to keep them moist. This medicine helps soothe irritation, burning, and a gritty sensation by maintaining proper lubrication of the eye surface.

CCS Gel is usually used as often as needed or as directed by your doctor. Apply the recommended amount, and wait at least 5–10 minutes before applying any other eye medication to avoid dilution. Do not use the product if the seal is broken. Always wash your hands before use and avoid touching the tip to prevent contamination or eye infection.


Common side effects include mild eye irritation (including burning or discomfort) and increased tear secretion. These effects are usually short-lived. However, inform your doctor if they persist, worsen, or if your symptoms do not improve. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require clear vision until your eyesight returns to normal after application.


CCS Gel is not known to interact with other medicines, but inform your doctor if you have a history of eye diseases such as glaucoma. Avoid using it while wearing contact lenses, as preservatives in the drops can damage them. If you develop eye pain, redness, swelling, or signs of infection, stop using the medicine and contact your doctor promptly.

Benefits of CCS Eye Drop

In Dry eyes

Dry eyes occur when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation, burning, redness, and a gritty sensation. CCS Gel acts like artificial tears by adding moisture to the eyes and forming a protective layer on the surface. This helps relieve dryness, soothes irritation, and improves comfort. Overall, it keeps the eyes lubricated and prevents damage caused by prolonged dryness.

Side effects of CCS Eye Drop

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of CCS

  • Eye irritation
  • Increased production of tears

How to use CCS Eye Drop

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

How CCS Eye Drop works

How should I use CCS Gel?

Use it as directed by your doctor. Wash your hands before use. Tilt your head back, gently pull down your lower eyelid, and place the prescribed amount of the medicine inside the lower lid. Do not touch the tip of the bottle of the container to your eye or any surface to prevent contamination.

How often can I use CCS Gel?

You can use it as often as needed or as recommended by your doctor. People with chronic dry eyes may need to use it several times a day or regularly for long-term relief.

Can I use CCS Gel while wearing contact lenses?

Can I use CCS Gel with other eye medications?

Yes, but it’s best to wait at least 5–10 minutes between applying CCS Gel and any other eye medication to prevent dilution. If you’re using both a drop and a gel, apply the drops first and the gel last.
