How Melose works
Melose works by forming a protective, lubricating film over the eye’s surface. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acts as a tear substitute, while boric acid, borax, and electrolytes help maintain the natural pH and osmotic balance, keeping the eyes hydrated and reducing irritation caused by dryness or external irritants.
