Evolve Hypromellose Eye Drops 10ml

Hypromellose Eye Drops are used to treat conditions where not enough tears are made to keep the eye lubricated and clean. Hypromellose Eye Drops lubricate the surface of the eye (including artificial eyes) in the same way as natural tears. It can therefore be used to relieve the dryness and pain associated with reduced or abnormal tear production.
