Optafresh 0.2%+0.2%

Description

Indications

Optafresh is an artificial tear and lubricant that provides relief from dry eye syndrome and ocular irritation caused by deficient tear or mucous secretion. It helps prevent corneal damage in patients with keratoconjunctivitis and offers essential ocular lubrication. Additionally, it provides temporary relief from burning and irritation due to dryness and acts as a protective barrier against further irritation.

Use as directed by a registered physician.

Pharmacology

Optafresh contains Dextran and Hypromellose, which mimic natural tears to soothe, moisturize, and protect the eyes while maintaining hydration.

• Hypromellose stabilizes and thickens the precorneal tear film, extending tear film breakup time, which is often reduced in dry eye conditions. It also acts as a lubricant and protective agent for the eye.
• Dextran is a complex branched glucan that helps retain moisture on the eye surface and slows tear film evaporation. It is also used in medical applications as an antithrombotic and blood viscosity reducer.
