Overview & Mechanism of Action
- Refresh Liquigel Eye Drops ($10\text{ml}$ multi-dose bottle) combines the comfort of an eye drop with the long-lasting protection of a gel:
- High-Viscosity Tear Film Augmentation: Contains Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium ($1.0\%\text{ w/v}$), a hydrophilic polymer with high mucoadhesive properties. It forms a thick, protective lubricating shield over the corneal surface that resists premature tear breakdown and clearance.
- Corneal Hydration & Barrier Support: Recreates the natural mucin layer of the tear film, reducing ocular surface friction during blinking and promoting epithelial healing in eyes suffering from chronic tear hyperosmolarity or desiccating stress.
- Sustained Night & Day Relief: The gel-drop formula provides prolonged residence time on the ocular surface compared to standard aqueous artificial tears, making it suitable for severe dry eye discomfort day or night.
Clinical Indications & Uses
- Refresh Liquigel Eye Drops 10ml is indicated for:
- Sustained relief of moderate-to-severe dry eye symptoms, including persistent burning, stinging, irritation, and foreign body sensation
- Overnight or extended daytime lubrication for patients requiring intense ocular surface moisture
- Protection against ocular dryness induced by wind, dry air, air conditioning, prolonged digital screen exposure, or post-refractive surgery conditions
