About Lacrisol Eye Drops

Lacrisol Eye Drops is used to treat dry eyes. Dry eye(s) is a condition in which the eye fails to make enough tears to coat it, which exposes the cornea and conjunctiva (outer coverings of the eye) to evaporation and subsequent damage.

Lacrisol Eye Drops is a combination of three drugs: Hypromellose, Glycerin and Dextran. Lacrisol Eye Drops is a slightly viscous solution that acts as an eye lubricant, also known as artificial tears. It works similarly to natural tears, providing temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to eye dryness by maintaining proper eye lubrication and acting as a protectant against further irritation.

Lacrisol Eye Drops is for external (eyes) use only. You are advised to use this medicine for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition.
