STERILE. DUAL POLYMER. LONG-LASTING GEL
Optixcare Eye Lube Plus for Dogs & Cats | 20g | Available at Boss Pets UK
Low stock: 6 left
A sterile dual-polymer eye gel for dogs and cats – Optixcare Eye Lube Plus is an ophthalmic lubricating gel combining carbomer and sodium hyaluronate to hold moisture against the surface of the eye. Available at Boss Pets UK in a 20 g tube.
Two lubricating polymers rather than one – Carbomer thickens the gel so it clings to the eye, while sodium hyaluronate binds water and releases it gradually. Together they last longer on the ocular surface than a watery drop.
Use under veterinary direction – Eye problems in pets have many possible causes, some needing prompt treatment. Speak to your veterinarian before use, and follow the frequency they advise for your animal.
Key Features
Key Features
20 g sterile tube – Contents remain sterile until the cap is removed.
Dual polymer system – Carbomer and sodium hyaluronate working together rather than a single lubricant.
Long-lasting on the eye – The gel stays in place longer than thin, watery drops.
Formulated for veterinary use – Intended for dogs and cats, including use during anaesthesia where a vet directs it.
Non-greasy – A water-based gel, so no oily residue on the fur around the eye.
Full ingredient list – Carbomer and sodium hyaluronate, with deionised water, sorbitol, sodium hydroxide, disodium EDTA and cetrimide.
Benefits
Benefits
Extended lubrication – The two polymers together hold moisture longer than either would alone.
Helps keep the eye comfortable – Useful where dryness, itching or irritation is a problem.
Fewer applications – Two to four times daily rather than hourly topping up.
No greasy residue – Water-based, unlike petrolatum ointments.
Supports procedures – Can be used during anaesthesia, when the blink reflex is lost, as directed by a vet.
How to Use
How to Use
Speak to your vet first – Your veterinarian should examine the eye and advise before you begin.
Dry eyes – Instil one to two drops into both eyes at each application.
Frequency – Two to four times daily, or as your veterinarian recommends.
During anaesthesia – One to two drops onto the cornea or into the conjunctival sac, applied by veterinary staff.
Keep the tip clean – Do not let it touch the eye or any surface, and recap promptly after use.
Stop if irritation occurs – Discontinue and contact your veterinarian if there is discomfort, pain, squinting or increasing redness.
How It Works
How It Works
The two polymers do different jobs. Carbomer is a thickening agent that gives the gel its viscosity, so it clings to the ocular surface instead of draining away with each blink. Sodium hyaluronate is a water-binding molecule found naturally in the eye, which holds moisture and releases it gradually. Combining them means the gel both stays put and keeps supplying water, which is why it needs applying only two to four times a day rather than hourly. Because the base is water rather than oil, it leaves no greasy residue on the fur. It supplements the tear film physically rather than acting on the tissue of the eye, so it is used alongside veterinary treatment rather than instead of it.
Why Choose
Why Choose
Two polymers, not one – Carbomer holds the gel in place while hyaluronate supplies the moisture.
Water-based, not oil-based – No greasy residue on the surrounding fur.
Sterile until opened – Matters for a product going directly onto the eye.
Suitable for practice use – Including during anaesthesia, where a vet directs it.

Common Uses
Common Uses
Reduced tear production, where diagnosed – Lubrication forms one part of a wider veterinary plan.
Breeds prone to eye exposure – Flat-faced breeds whose eyes are less protected by the lids.
During and after anaesthesia – The blink reflex is lost under anaesthetic, leaving the cornea exposed.
Environmental irritation – Wind, dust or dry indoor air.
Ongoing daily lubrication – Where recommended by your veterinarian.
Summary
Summary
Optixcare Eye Lube Plus is a sterile ophthalmic lubricating gel for dogs and cats, supplied in a 20 g tube. Its dual polymer system pairs carbomer, which keeps the gel on the eye, with sodium hyaluronate, which binds and gradually releases moisture. The result lasts longer than a watery drop and leaves no greasy residue, with typical use two to four times daily. It supplements the tear film rather than treating the eye, so it is intended for use alongside veterinary care. Available now at Boss Pets UK.
FAQs
FAQs
Should I speak to my vet before using this?
Yes. Eye problems in pets have many possible causes, some needing urgent treatment. Lubrication alone will not address them, so your vet should examine the eye first.
How much should I use, and how often?
For dry eyes, one to two drops into both eyes, two to four times daily — or as your veterinarian recommends for your animal.
What is the dual polymer system?
Carbomer thickens the gel so it stays on the eye, and sodium hyaluronate binds water and releases it gradually. Each does a different job.
How is this different from an ointment?
It is water-based rather than petrolatum-based, so it leaves no greasy residue on the fur around the eye.
Can it be used during anaesthesia?
Yes, one to two drops onto the cornea or into the conjunctival sac. This is normally done by veterinary staff, since the blink reflex is lost under anaesthetic.
What is in it?
Carbomer and sodium hyaluronate as the active ingredients, with deionised water, sorbitol, sodium hydroxide, disodium EDTA and cetrimide.
How do I avoid contaminating it?
The contents are sterile until the cap comes off. Keep the tip clear of the eye and any surface, and recap after each use.
What if my pet’s eye becomes irritated?
Mild irritation can occur. Stop using it and contact your veterinarian.
Is it a treatment for eye disease?
No. It is a lubricant that supplements the tear film. Any underlying condition needs diagnosing and treating by your veterinarian.
How should it be stored?
At room temperature, out of reach of children. For animal use only.
