About Vita-POS Eye Ointment 5g
Vita-POS is a preservative-free, night-time lubricating eye ointment formulated to provide intensive, long-lasting relief from dry, irritated eyes—especially overnight . Its vitamin A–enriched, paraffin-based ointment forms a protective, moisture-sealing layer on the ocular surface to reduce evaporation, soothe irritation, and support a comfortable start to the day. Ideal for people who wake with sore, gritty eyes, for those with nocturnal lagophthalmos (incomplete eyelid closure), or for use alongside day-time drops in moderate to severe dry eye.
The smooth, sterile ointment spreads easily and is designed for bedtime application because it can temporarily blur vision. The compact 5g tube is convenient for travel and provides a hygienic, multi-dose format for nightly use.
Retinol palmitate (Vitamin A) 250 IU Excipients include liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin (preservative-free). See carton for full list of ingredients.

Directions for use
Apply as directed on the on-pack label, typically one to two drops in each affected eye, several times daily as required. Tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, instil the drop into the conjunctival sac, and blink gently. Avoid the tip of the bottle contacting the eye, eyelid or any other surface. If you wear contact lenses, follow the on-pack guidance for application with lenses in place or remove lenses before instillation.
Storage
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use within the period stated on the pack — preservative-free drops with mechanical multi-dose systems (such as COMOD) can be used for up to 6 months after opening; preservative-containing drops typically have a 28-day use-up window. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the pack.
Warnings and important information
- Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
- If you have a sudden change in vision, eye pain, severe redness, or have recently had an eye injury, seek medical advice before use.
- If symptoms persist despite regular use, see your optometrist or general practitioner — persistent dry eye can have treatable underlying causes.
- Do not use after the expiry date or after the printed period-after-opening (e.g. 6 months for the COMOD system).
- Avoid the tip of the bottle contacting the eye, eyelid or any other surface — this maintains sterility.
- Discontinue use and seek medical advice if irritation, redness or rash develops.
Suitable for
Suitable for adults and children experiencing dryness, irritation, or environmental eye fatigue. Preservative-free products are generally preferred where drops are used frequently (more than 4 times daily) or in people sensitive to preservatives such as benzalkonium chloride.
Frequently asked questions
How often can I use Vita-POS Eye Ointment 5g?
Refer to the on-pack directions. For preservative-free lubricating eye drops, there is no upper limit imposed by preservative toxicity, so they can be used as often as needed for symptomatic relief. For preserved drops, dose limits apply — typically up to 4-6 times daily. If you find you need drops constantly, speak with your optometrist about underlying dry-eye causes.
Can I use Vita-POS Eye Ointment 5g with contact lenses?
Contact-lens compatibility varies by product. Preservative-free lubricating eye drops are generally suitable for use with both soft and hard contact lenses, but always check the specific Vita-POS packaging or speak with your optometrist if you are unsure. Some preserved drops should be applied before inserting or after removing lenses.
How long does an opened bottle of eye drops last?
Preservative-containing eye drops typically have a use-up window of 28 days after first opening, after which they should be discarded. Preservative-free multi-dose systems (such as the COMOD system) can have longer use-up windows — up to 6 months in some products. Check the on-pack labelling for the specific use-up period for Vita-POS Eye Ointment 5g.
When should I see an optometrist or doctor?
See an optometrist or GP if eye symptoms persist despite regular use of lubricating drops, if you have sudden vision change, severe pain, intense redness, or have recently had an eye injury. Persistent dry eye can have treatable underlying causes — Australian Prescriber notes meibomian gland dysfunction, autoimmune dry eye (Sjögren's), and medication side effects as common causes.
Is Vita-POS Eye Ointment 5g preservative-free?
Preservative-free status varies by product. Check the on-pack labelling for Vita-POS. People who use eye drops more than 4 times daily, or who are sensitive to benzalkonium chloride and similar preservatives, generally benefit from preservative-free formulations.
What pack size does Vita-POS Eye Ointment 5g come in?
This product is supplied as a 5g pack. Pack size may vary by manufacturer batch — always refer to the on-pack quantity statement to confirm.
