Composition

Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (0.5 %)

Tear Drops Eye Drops is a commonly used medicine for dry and irritated eyes. They add moisture and lubrication to your eyes, relieving any discomfort caused by dryness. These eye drops contain the ingredient Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose, similar to the natural tears your eyes produce.

Dry eyes can happen for different reasons, like being in a dry environment, exposure to wind and sun, spending a lot of time looking at screens, getting older, taking certain medications after laser or cataract eye surgery, or having certain medical conditions.

Tear Drops Eye Drops help by providing the moisture your eyes need, reducing irritation, and keeping your eyes properly lubricated. Use the dose prescribed by the doctor or as instructed on the label. Do not use it if it has changed colour or appears cloudy. If your condition worsens or persists after three days, inform your doctor.
