What ointment instead of Lacrilube I can use?

[randal_bond]

I use Lacrilube on a regular basis, but was told by two pharmacies that there's a manufacturing issue with it, and it may last weeks or months. So, I need to find another ointment, similar by consistence. Can anyone recommend one? I live in the UK and would prefer to receive an ointment on prescription. I also use Simple ointment, which is no substitute to the above - it's thicker.

Thank you.

Here in Australia Lacrilube has just changed it's name to Refresh Night Time Eye Ointment. Perhaps the same thing is happening in the UK, rather than it being stopped altogether.

VitA-Pos is a good alternative. I didn't like lacrilube though but I like this. Have to get it prescribed from GP not Ophthalmologist. Can't remember why exactly.

I find Lacrilube horrible. Polyvisc is a good alternative, we are all different, but it's gentler on my eyes. I only use it when needing to go without sclerals or moisture chambers for a few hours.
