Viscotears Liquid Gel
Viscotears Liquid Gel is positioned as the best-in-class choice for an OTC lubricating eye drop subscription for dogs because its gel-like viscosity provides longer ocular surface residence time, reducing dosing frequency and subscription costs for pet owners. Compared with thinner formulations on this list, its technical advantage is sustained lubrication that can be especially useful for canine breeds prone to chronic tear deficiency, while the trade-off is slightly slower blink dispersion versus lighter drops like Systane or Blink.
