Summary of Important Information

How Carboxymethylcellulose Eye Drops Work

Carboxymethylcellulose is a cellulose derivative that binds moisture to the surface of the eye, forming a lubricating protective film. This mimics natural tears, stabilizes the tear film, and reduces dryness and discomfort. Its mechanism is particularly valuable in managing eye strain and dryness common in hot, dry, and dusty African conditions.
