Virbac Humigel Eye Lubricant Gel (10G) is a sterile, viscous ophthalmic gel engineered to moisturize, lubricate, and protect the eyes of both dogs and cats. Formulated with Carbopol 980 (0.2%), this long-acting tear substitute spreads evenly across the cornea and conjunctiva upon blinking, creating a transparent, high-adherence protective film that prevents corneal dryness and relieves ocular irritation.
Key Features & Benefits
• Long-Lasting Tear Replacement. Contains Carbopol 980 (carbomer), a viscous polymer that converts into a smooth liquid film upon contact with the eye to supplement deficient natural tears.
• High-Adherence Corneal Protection. Forms a durable, non-running transparent shield over the eye surface, offering longer contact time and hydration than standard liquid eye drops.
• Friction & Irritation Relief. Reduces mechanical friction between the eyelids and the cornea, soothing discomfort, redness, and excessive blinking caused by dryness or environmental stressors.
• Gentle & Non-Stinging Formula. Sterile physiological composition designed for high ocular tolerance in sensitive canine and feline eyes.

Directions for Use
1. Position. Gently hold your pet's head steady and pull the lower eyelid down slightly to expose the conjunctival sac.
2. Instill. Hold the tube upright and squeeze gently to instill 1 to 2 drops into the eye. Allow your pet to blink naturally to spread the gel over the eye surface.
3. Frequency. Apply twice daily on average, or more frequently as directed by a veterinarian.
4. Spacing Medications. If using other eye drops or ointments at the same time, wait at least 5 minutes between applications.
Safety & Storage Notes: Avoid touching the tip of the tube to your pet's eye, eyelids, or fur to prevent contamination, and replace the cap tightly after each use. Store at room temperature and discard any remaining gel 30 days after opening.
