Sodium Hyaluronate
Hyaluronic Acid, HA
A naturally occurring polymer found in the interstitial cellular space in humans. It is widely used in eye drops due to its moisture-retention and lubrication properties.
Key Functions & Health Benefits
Acts as a tear film substitute, offering hydration, lubrication, and stabilization to the ocular surface. – Enhances tear film stability. – Retards water evaporation, keeping the eyes hydrated for extended periods. – Alleviates symptoms of dryness, burning, and grittiness. – Protects and soothes sensitive ocular tissues. – Promotes healing by providing a barrier against environmental irritants.
How It Works
Sodium hyaluronate’s coiled molecular structure and hydrophilic properties allow it to attract and retain water, forming a protective, viscoelastic film on the ocular surface. This film mimics natural tears, ensuring even distribution and longer retention on the eye, reducing tear evaporation, and providing prolonged relief. Its viscoelasticity adapts to blinking, creating a smooth and consistent protective layer.
