WELMATE Sodium Chloride 5% Eye Ointment Pack of 3 — 3.5g Tubes, Hypertonic Relief for Corneal Edema

WELMATE Sodium Chloride 5% Eye Ointment is a hypertonic ophthalmic ointment in three 3.5g tubes formulated to help relieve symptoms of corneal edema and related discomfort.

Designed for short-term symptomatic care, this ophthalmic hypertonicity ointment contains 5% sodium chloride in an ointment base of lanolin and mineral oil. Each pack includes three 1/8 oz (3.5g) tubes, offering a convenient supply for ongoing use as directed. The formulation matches the active ingredient and concentration commonly used for corneal edema management, and the ointment texture supports longer ocular contact than drops.

How does this ointment help when my vision feels blurry from corneal swelling?

The 5% sodium chloride increases osmotic draw across the corneal surface, which can reduce corneal swelling temporarily and help restore clearer vision between treatments. Because it’s an ointment rather than drops, it stays on the eye longer, extending symptomatic relief, especially overnight.

• Contains 5% sodium chloride—the same active concentration used by many hypertonic products.
• Ointment base prolongs contact time versus drops.
• Pack of three 3.5g tubes for repeated applications.

When and how should I apply WELMATE 5% sodium chloride ointment?

Use as directed by your eye care professional or the product instructions for symptomatic relief. Gently pull down the lower eyelid and place a small strip of ointment (about 1/4 inch) inside the eyelid; repeat every 3–4 hours or as advised by your clinician.

• Apply a small amount to the inner lower eyelid for direct contact with the cornea.
• Reapply every 3–4 hours or per medical guidance.
• Avoid touching the tube tip to your eye to keep the ointment sterile.

What is inside the tube and is it compatible with sensitive eyes?

The ointment combines 5% sodium chloride with lanolin and mineral oil to create a smooth, protective base suitable for the delicate tissues of the eye. It is formulated by professionals to balance efficacy and tolerability, but anyone with known allergies to lanolin or other ingredients should consult their healthcare provider first.

• Active ingredient: 5% sodium chloride (hypertonic agent).
• Inactive components: lanolin and mineral oil for extended adherence.
• Check ingredient list if you have lanolin sensitivity or specific allergies.
