Hypromellose is a polymer used in ophthalmology for the treatment of dry eyes and as an ocular lubricant. It works by forming a protective layer on the eye's surface, reducing discomfort and irritation.
The medication is administered as eye drops, as directed by a doctor. It is important to avoid touching the tip of the bottle to prevent contamination.
Side effects may include temporary burning sensation, blurred vision, or eye irritation. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur.
Hypromellose is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to this medication or other components of the ophthalmic solution.
