What does it do?

Dextran 70 is a type of polysaccharide commonly used in artificial tears or eye drops. It is used to alleviate dryness and protect the surface of the eye.

Dextran 70 forms a thin protective layer on the surface of the eye to prevent moisture evaporation, keeping the eyes moist. This reduces irritation and dryness of the eyes.

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

Good to know

Dextran 70 significantly increases the viscosity in eye drops, stabilizing the tear film. Unlike other artificial tear ingredients, it has good adhesion, allowing it to stay on the surface of the eye for a longer time.
