What should I avoid while taking hypromellose?

Hypromellose is generally safe to use, and there are no major lifestyle changes that need to be made while you are taking it. You should not use any other eye drops, including over-the-counter products, while taking this medication. The eye dropper should not touch any surface while administering the medication in order to avoid contamination. If this drug causes blurred or distorted vision, you may want to wait for this side effect to subside before you drive or engage in another activity that requires clear vision.
