How Dextran & Hypromellose Eye Drops Work
Dextran acts as a lubricant, reducing friction on the eye surface, while hypromellose forms a protective tear-like film that retains moisture. Together, they stabilize the tear film, relieve ocular dryness, and provide comfort. This mechanism makes them ideal for managing dry eyes caused by environmental conditions common in African climates.
