Refresh Celluvisc Lubricant Eye Gel is the thickest, most viscous formula in the Refresh lineup — a preservative-free, extra-strength gel-drop that delivers the most intensive moisturizing relief and longest-lasting protection available in a single-use artificial tear. It is the go-to choice for moderate to severe dry eye, overnight use, PROSE and scleral lens wearers who fill their devices with CMC gel, and patients who have found standard drops insufficient for their level of dryness.Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium (CMC) 1.0% is the active lubricant — at this concentration, CMC forms a viscous, gel-like film over the ocular surface that adheres longer than standard drops, providing sustained relief between applications. The higher the CMC concentration, the more prolonged the contact time and the more intensive the lubrication — CMC 1% (as in Celluvisc) provides significantly longer-lasting relief than the 0.5% CMC used in standard Refresh Optive. The preservative-free, single-use vial format eliminates the risk of preservative-induced surface toxicity (particularly benzalkonium chloride/BAK damage), which worsens dry eye with repeated use in multi-dose bottles. Each vial is sterile, used once, and discarded — ensuring sterility at every application.Note: The thick gel formula may cause temporary blurring due to its viscosity — this is expected and resolves within minutes. Remove contact lenses before use. FSA & HSA eligible. For external use only. Stop use and ask a doctor if eye pain, changes in vision, redness or irritation persist more than 72 hours.
