Pharmacodynamics
The active substance of the medication has a high ability to bind to water. This allows you to compensate for the lack of moisture in the stratum corneum and conjunctiva.
The lacrimal fluid consists of 3 main layers, which saturate the surface of the eye with various useful substances. It also helps protect the eye and provides a normal level of moisture between the stratum corneum and the eyelid, which improves their functional capacity and restores the visual function of the eye.
Natural tear fluid forms a special protective film that helps heal damage in the stratum corneum of the eye. In case of insufficient production of tear fluid, symptoms such as a burning sensation, dryness, a feeling of the presence of a foreign object in the eye, signs of irritation and redness, or tiredness. In extremely rare cases, lacrimation may develop.
Systematic use of the drug allows you to ensure normal hydration of the cornea of the eye and restore its functional ability.
