Medicine Description occu-plus
occu plus eye drops is a medication designed to provide lubrication and hydration to the ocular surface. It contains carbomer, a polymer that forms a gel-like substance when in contact with moisture. This gel enhances the viscosity of the eye drops, allowing them to adhere to the surface of the eye for an extended period. By creating a protective film, it helps stabilize the tear film and prevent evaporation, thereby alleviating dryness and discomfort associated with insufficient tear production.
