Hypromellose eye drops are used for the symptomatic relief of dry eye conditions, especially due to reduced tear secretion or incomplete eyelid closure.
Indications
- Dry eye conditions (due to reduced tear secretion or incomplete eyelid closure)
- Dehydration of the cornea and conjunctiva
Pharmacology
Hypromellose is a semisynthetic, inert and viscoelastic polymer used as an ophthalmic lubricant. It stabilises and thickens the precorneal tear film and prolongs the tear film breakup time, promoting corneal wetting. It lubricates and protects the eye. The ophthalmic gel enriched with Carbomer 980 is a long-acting eye gel with slight hypotonicity that is rapidly neutralised by the slightly hypertonic tear fluid caused by dry eyes.
