Medicine Description refresh-liquigel 1%
Refresh Liquigel 15 ml Eye Drops is a medication that utilizes sodium carboxymethylcellulose as its active ingredient, a high molecular weight polymer that mimics the properties of natural tears. When instilled into the eye, it forms a protective and lubricating film over the ocular surface. This gel-like consistency not only provides immediate moisture but also prolongs hydration due to its viscosity, allowing for extended relief from dryness. The formulation helps stabilize the tear film, reducing evaporation and enhancing the comfort of the eye, particularly in individuals exposed to irritants or those who experience dryness from prolonged screen time. By replenishing moisture, it alleviates symptoms associated with dry eye conditions and helps restore a more natural tear balance.
