What is Lotel LS Eye Gel 5 Ml?

How Does Lotel LS Eye Gel Work?

Loteprednol Etabonate — Targeted Anti-Inflammatory Action

Sodium Hyaluronate — Viscoelastic Lubrication

What is Lotel LS Eye Gel 5 Ml Used For?

• Post-cataract surgery inflammation and pain — reducing swelling and discomfort in the days following cataract extraction, typically started the day after surgery
• Post-LASIK and refractive surgery ocular surface management — controlling inflammation while lubricating the healing corneal surface
• Seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis — relieving the inflammation, redness, and itching caused by allergen exposure
• Steroid-responsive ocular inflammatory conditions — including iritis, uveitis (anterior), ocular rosacea, herpes zoster keratitis, and phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis
• Dry eye with concurrent inflammation — where dryness and inflammatory activation of the ocular surface coexist and require simultaneous management
• Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) — particularly in contact lens wearers who develop hypersensitivity-related papillary changes on the upper tarsal conjunctiva

Lotel LS Eye Gel 5 Ml Dosage — How to Apply It Correctly

• Post-operative inflammation: Apply 4 times daily beginning the day after surgery, continuing for 2 weeks or as directed
• Allergic conjunctivitis: Apply 4 times daily into the affected eye(s) for the duration specified by your doctor
• Steroid-responsive conditions: Apply 4 times daily initially; frequency may be tapered as response is established
• Dry eye with inflammation: Apply 1–2 times daily or as directed, often at bedtime for extended overnight lubrication

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
2. If wearing soft contact lenses, remove them before application. Do not reinsert lenses for at least 15–30 minutes after use.
3. Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
4. Squeeze a small ribbon (approximately 1 cm) of gel into the lower eyelid pocket. Do not allow the tube tip to touch your eye, eyelid, or any other surface.
5. Close your eye gently and roll it slowly to distribute the gel evenly. Blink a few times.
6. Wipe away any excess gel from around the eye with a clean tissue.
7. Replace the tube cap tightly immediately after each use.

Side Effects of Lotel LS Eye Gel 5 Ml

• Temporary blurred vision immediately after application — resolves within a few minutes as the gel distributes
• Mild burning, stinging, or discomfort on instillation — particularly on first use
• Eye redness or watery eyes — usually transient
• Foreign body sensation — the sensation of something in the eye; typically resolves quickly
• Sticky eyelashes or eyelid margin discharge — particularly with nighttime use

• Raised intraocular pressure (IOP) — steroid use beyond 10 days requires IOP monitoring; symptoms include eye pain, halos around lights, or sudden vision changes
• Posterior subcapsular cataract — a rare complication of prolonged ophthalmic steroid use
• Secondary ocular infections — steroids can mask signs of or worsen existing viral (herpes simplex), fungal, or bacterial infections
• Delayed corneal healing — if used over open corneal wounds, steroids may impair epithelial recovery
• Severe allergic reaction — rare, but seek immediate attention if significant swelling, rash, or breathing difficulty occurs

Who Should Not Use Lotel LS Eye Gel?

• Known allergy to Loteprednol Etabonate, Sodium Hyaluronate, benzalkonium chloride, or any other component of the formulation
• Active viral eye infections — including epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, and varicella (chickenpox-related keratitis)
• Active fungal infections of the eye — steroids potentiate fungal growth
• Mycobacterial (tuberculosis-related) ocular infections
• Untreated bacterial eye infections — steroid use without concurrent antibiotic cover may worsen bacterial infection
• Established glaucoma or significantly elevated intraocular pressure without close monitoring in place
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — use only if clearly necessary and under strict medical supervision

Storage Instructions and Precautions

• Store at room temperature between 15°C–25°C (59°F–77°F) — do not freeze
• Store upright, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
• Keep out of reach of children
• Discard the tube 4 weeks after opening, even if gel remains — do not use beyond the in-use expiry
• Never share your eye gel with another person — cross-contamination can cause serious ocular infections
• Check the expiry date printed on the tube before every use

Lotel LS Eye Gel in Post-Cataract and Post-LASIK Recovery

Lotel LS Eye Gel vs Lotel Eye Ointment — What Is the Difference?

• Lotel Eye Ointment 5 Gm — contains Loteprednol Etabonate only, in a thicker ointment base. Best for pure anti-inflammatory therapy without lubrication need. Slightly longer contact time due to the heavier ointment vehicle.
• Lotel LS Eye Gel 5 Ml — contains Loteprednol Etabonate + Sodium Hyaluronate in a gel base. Best when inflammation and dryness coexist — the gel base is lighter than ointment, less vision blur, and the HA component actively hydrates and supports the corneal surface.
