About Ocutears 1% Eye Drop

CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE belongs to the group of 'ophthalmic medication,' primarily used to treat dry eyes. Dry eye(s) is a condition in which the eye fails to make enough tears to coat it, which exposes the cornea and conjunctiva (outer coverings of the eye) to evaporation and subsequent damage.

CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE containing Carboxymethylcellulose, It is an eye lubricant, also known as artificial tears. It works similar to natural tears and provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to the eye's dryness by maintaining proper lubrication of the eyes and acting as a protectant against further irritation.
