Hypromellose
Uses of Hypromellose
- Treatment of dry eye syndrome
- Provides relief from eye irritation caused by environmental factors like smoke, wind, or dust
- Used to treat discomfort after eye surgeries or procedures
- Prevents eye dryness in patients using contact lenses
How Hypromellose Works
Hypromellose works by acting as a lubricant for the eyes, forming a thin protective layer that helps retain moisture on the surface of the eye. This relieves dryness, irritation, and discomfort by preventing excessive evaporation of the eye`s natural tears. It also helps in reducing friction between the eyelid and the eye, making blinking more comfortable.

- Provides quick and long-lasting relief from discomfort
- Safe for regular use, especially for contact lens wearers
- Helps maintain eye moisture and improve tear stability

If using a gel or ointment, follow the instructions on the package carefully. Always wash your hands before applying the product to avoid contamination.
