Forms a viscoelastic, transparent, bioadhesive lubricating polymer shield over the cornea and conjunctiva, stabilizing the pre-corneal tear film, mimicking mucin layer adherence, and protecting the ocular surface against desiccating environmental stress and shear forces during blinking. Indicated for temporary relief of burning, irritation, and discomfort due to dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), digital eye strain, wind, or sun exposure.
