The principle of action of the drug is based on the ability of its active ingredients to create a protective film on the surface of the cornea.

The effectiveness of the drug is explained by the presence in its composition of several substances with different properties:

• Povidone has a major effect on tissue. The component not only moisturizes the cornea, but also softens the lining of the eyelids. As a result, the risk of tissue irritation is reduced, and concomitant manifestations that occur against the background of irritation are eliminated.
• Boric acid in the composition helps to eliminate various acute and subacute signs of inflammation of the conjunctiva, cornea and other tissues. Thanks to this, the medicine can be used in combination with other medications to improve the effectiveness of treatment.
• Sodium chloride and some other components regulate the acid-base balance, which also helps to avoid irritation and dryness.
• Sorbic acid possesses pronounced antimicrobial properties, that is, it helps to destroy microbes that can provoke an inflammatory process and impair the eyesight of patients.
