Ophthalmic lubricating solutions contain sodium hyaluronate or similar agents that form a protective layer on the ocular surface, stabilising the tear film and reducing friction from eye movements and blinking to protect the corneal epithelium. These devices are used to relieve dryness, burning, irritation, stinging, foreign body sensation and discomfort caused by dry eye disease or environmental factors such as dust, glare, pollen and air pollution.
