Optixcare Eye Lube Plus
Corneal Protectant & Lubricant
Optixcare Eye Lubricant is the number-one selling ocular
lubricant to veterinary ophthalmologists. OptixCare is a moisturizing ophthalmic
lubricant in a unique sterile carbomer gel that is specifically designed for
veterinary use. Carbomer gel is a well-known stabilizer that promotes adhesion
to the surface of the eye and has extender-like properties. The Carbomer gel
swells in the presence of tears and changes consistency to a clear, water-like
suspension over the surface of the eye. Hyaluron works well at attracting and
retaining water.
Optixcare Eye Lube Plus combines hyaluron and carbomer resulting in a hydrogel synergy where there is
a sustained release of hydrophilic carbomer delivery matrix that is infused with
nourishing and hydrating hyaluron. The carbomer gel offers a viscosity to the
gel that causes it to remain on the cornea for an extended period of time. This
viscosity also allows for easy control of the drop as it is applied to the eye.
Optixcare Eye Lube gel immediately becomes more liquid on contact with the salt
in tears. Because of the water base and the gel viscosity, only one drop per eye
is needed.
- Rapidly disperses to protect the cornea and conjunctiva
