Medicine Description celluvisic 1%
Celluvisic 1% Eye Drops is a medication designed to mimic the natural moisture of the eye. The active ingredient, Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium, functions as a lubricant by forming a protective film over the surface of the eye. This film not only retains moisture but also enhances the stability of the tear film, reducing evaporation and providing relief from dryness. By closely resembling the composition of natural tears, Celluvisic helps to alleviate discomfort, soothe irritation, and enhance overall ocular surface health, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with dry eye conditions.
