Description

Lacrisert Ophthalmic Insert is a unique, preservative-free, slow-release lubricant designed to alleviate symptoms of moderate to severe dry eye conditions. This sterile, rod-shaped, hydroxypropyl cellulose insert provides long-lasting lubrication for the eyes, making it an ideal solution for those whose dry eye symptoms are not adequately managed by liquid eye drops. The active ingredient, hydroxypropyl cellulose, acts as a lubricant to moisten the eye, which can reduce the symptoms of irritation, burning, and discomfort associated with dry eye.
