How Carmellose Sodium Eye Drops Work
Carmellose sodium binds water to the eye surface, forming a viscous lubricating film that prolongs tear film stability. This helps reduce evaporation, soothes irritation, and improves ocular comfort. The mechanism is especially helpful in treating eye dryness related to environmental factors prevalent in Africa.
