Optiwet Eye Drops 10 ml

Optiwet Eye Drops 10 ml belongs to the class of medications called 'ophthalmologic agents' used in treating dry eyes. Dry eye is a condition in which there is decreased production of tears by lachrymal glands (tear glands) due to vitamin A deficiency, allergic eye diseases or eye infections. It causes damage to the eye's outer coverings (cornea and conjunctiva) and increases the risk of inflammation or infections.

Optiwet Eye Drops 10 ml is a combination of two medicines, D-Panthenol and Hyaluronic acid. D-Panthenol is derived from Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). It has regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties and helps relieve dry eye symptoms and further damage to the eye. Hyaluronic acid is a complex polysaccharide or sugar naturally found in the eye. It is used as a component in eye drops to lubricate eyes and relieve dry eye symptoms.  

Optiwet Eye Drops 10 ml is for ophthalmological use only. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor.
