Polyvinyl Alcohol (Including Pvp)

Polyvinyl Alcohol (Including PVP) is a commonly used eye care ingredient found in lubricating eye drops and artificial tears. It is designed to provide soothing relief from dry, irritated, and tired eyes by adding moisture and protecting the eye surface. Polyvinyl Alcohol works by forming a smooth, protective layer over the eyes, helping reduce dryness, burning sensation, redness, and foreign body feeling. PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone) enhances lubrication and improves tear film stability for longer-lasting comfort.

This combination is especially helpful for people who experience eye dryness due to prolonged screen use, contact lenses, air conditioning, pollution, or aging. It mimics natural tears and helps maintain proper eye hydration throughout the day. Safe for regular use and well tolerated, Polyvinyl Alcohol (Including PVP) supports eye comfort, improves visual clarity, and helps protect eye health when used as directed by an eye care professional.
