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.

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.
