What does it do?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose 2910 is a thickening agent of the cellulose derivative group, used in eye drops to protect the tear film and retain moisture. It is mainly included in artificial tear formulations for the treatment of dry eye syndrome.

This ingredient forms a protective barrier on the surface of the eye, reducing moisture evaporation and keeping the eyes moist. Additionally, its high viscosity increases the stability of tears, alleviating eye irritation.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
