Optimoist Forte Eye Drop 10ml

Optimoist Forte Eye Drop 10ml is a lubricating eye drop formulation designed to mimic natural tears and provide sustained hydration to the ocular surface.

Dextran is a water-soluble polysaccharide that helps stabilise the tear film and improve moisture retention on the eye surface. It contributes to lubrication and reduces dryness-related discomfort.

Glycerol (Glycerine) is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture, helping keep the eyes hydrated for longer durations. It soothes irritation and protects the ocular surface from dryness-related damage.

Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) is a viscoelastic lubricant that forms a protective coating over the eye surface. It reduces friction during blinking, improves tear film stability, and provides prolonged relief from dryness and irritation.

Together, these ingredients provide effective ocular lubrication, improve comfort, and protect the eyes from dryness caused by environmental exposure, digital eye strain, ageing, contact lens use, or reduced tear production.
