About Carbomer

Eye lubricant.

Mechanism of Action of Carbomer

Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that forms a viscous eye gel. It produces a transparent, lubricating and moistening film on the surface of the eye and is used as artificial tears. Carbomer clings to the surface of the eye and is therefore not washed out of the eye as quickly as some other lubricating eye drops.
