Effective relief from dry eyesLubricates the eye to protect and promote a healthy ocular surface.Suitable for children, adults, and the elderly.Active Ingredient: Hypromellose 0.32%
If you suffer from dry eye, you know how uncomfortable it can be. Your eyes may feel scratchy, irritated, and red. And when it’s bad, it can make it tough to focus on anything. Artelac Hypromellose Eye Drops can help.
This artificial tear solution contains the active ingredient hypromellose, which lubricates and soothes your eyes. It’s like putting in a refreshing drop of dew. Just a few drops can help relieve your dry eye symptoms so you can get back to your day.
And unlike some other brands, Artelac is preservative-free, so it’s gentle on your eyes. So why suffer from dry eye any longer? Try Artel
Your eyes will normally produce just enough natural tears to allow them to move easily and comfortably. If your eyes do not produce enough tears they can become dry, red and painful.
Your drops keep the surface of the eye lubricated (moist) when the production of tears is less than normal and has a refreshing, cooling action. The hypromellose in these drops increases the thickness of the solution which has a moisturising effect and helps the solution to stay in contact with your eye for a longer period of time.
Artelac can be used by children, adults and the elderly.
