About Osmodrops Eye Drops

Osmodrops Eye Drops is used to treat dry eye disease. Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs if you don't produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye's surface.

Osmodrops Eye Drops is a combination of two medicines: Carboxymethylcellulose and Glycerin. Carboxymethylcellulose works by increasing tear viscosity in the eye. Glycerin is an ophthalmic demulcent (forms a soothing film) that works by lubricating the eye's mucous membrane surfaces. In this way, it provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort.

Osmodrops Eye Drops should be taken as advised by your doctor. Some of the minor side effects are burning/stinging/ irritation may occur temporarily. Whereas serious side effects are eye pain and eye redness/irritation may occur. If it persists, take the advice of your doctor.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Dry eye disease: Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when your tears are not able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. The tearing instability leads to inflammation and damage of the eyes' surface. Symptoms include a burning sensation, sensitivity to light, eye redness, a sensation of having something in your eyes, watery eyes, and blurred vision. It is caused by disruption of the healthy tear film by hormonal changes, autoimmune disease, inflamed eyelid glands, ageing, keeping contact lenses and using some medications like antihistamines (fexofenadine), and people who have undergone laser eye surgery.
