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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I apply Vita-POS?
A: Wash hands. Gently pull down the lower eyelid and apply a small ribbon (about 1 cm) of ointment into the lower conjunctival sac at bedtime. Close the eye gently to spread the ointment. Recap tightly.

Q: How often can I use it?
A: Most people use Vita-POS once nightly. If morning dryness is severe, your eye-care professional may suggest additional applications (noting temporary blur).

Q: Can I use it with my day-time lubricating drops?
A: Yes. Use drops during the day and Vita-POS at night to extend relief. If applying both at the same time, use drops first, then ointment.

Q: Can I use it with contact lenses?
A: No. Remove lenses before application and reinsert after sleep and normal eye hygiene the next day.

Q: How long does a tube last after opening?
A: Use within the in-use period stated on the pack (typically up to 6 months). Discard earlier if the ointment becomes contaminated or changes appearance.

Q: Will it sting or blur my vision?
A: A brief blur is expected due to the ointment base; mild, transient stinging can occur. If persistent irritation occurs, stop use and seek advice.

Q: Who benefits most from Vita-POS?
A: Those with overnight dryness, exposure-related dryness (e.g., incomplete eyelid closure), or anyone who needs a long-duration lubricant while asleep.

Q: Any storage tips?
A: Store below 25°C (or as directed on pack). Keep the nozzle clean, avoid touching the eye or lashes, and replace the cap immediately after use.

Q: Is it suitable for children?
A: Use only on professional advice for paediatric patients.
