About

Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when tears are unable to provide sufficient moisture. The symptoms include redness, pain, burning sensation, blurred vision, discomfort in the eye, watery eyes, difficulty reading or sitting in front of the computer for a long time, or eyes getting tired faster than usual.
Sodium Hyaluronate+sodium Carboxymethylcellulose contains Sodium hyaluronate and Sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Sodium Hyaluronate+sodium Carboxymethylcellulose works by forming a lubricating, transparent, and moistening film on the cornea (surface of the eye) and is used as artificial tears.
