Description
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) eye drops at a 0.5% concentration are a common type of artificial tear solution used to relieve dry, irritated eyes. Carboxymethyl cellulose forms a protective, lubricating film over the surface of the eye, reducing friction and helping to retain moisture. This can soothe irritation caused by dryness or environmental factors.
Key Features:
- Dry Eye Relief:
- These drops primarily act as a lubricant, providing temporary relief from dryness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes.
- This dryness can be caused by various factors, including:
- Environmental conditions (wind, sun, dry air)
- Prolonged computer use
- Aging
- Certain medications
- Lubrication and Protection: CMC is a viscous solution that mimics natural tears, helping to replenish moisture and create a protective barrier on the eye’s surface.
