Product Overview
CMC 0.5 Eye Drops are sterile ophthalmic lubricating drops specially formulated with Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium 0.5% w/v, one of the most widely recommended ingredients for the effective management of dry eye syndrome.
These eye drops act as artificial tears and are designed to provide quick, soothing relief from eye discomfort caused by dryness, irritation, environmental factors, screen exposure, and contact lens use.
Dry eyes are becoming extremely common in today’s digital world. Long working hours on computers, continuous mobile usage, air-conditioned environments, pollution, and aging are all contributing to increasing eye dryness. CMC 0.5 eye drops help restore natural moisture balance and maintain healthy tear film for long-lasting comfort.
What Are CMC 0.5 Eye Drops Used For?
CMC 0.5 eye drops are primarily indicated for:
-
Dry eye syndrome
-
Burning sensation in eyes
-
Eye irritation due to dust or pollution
-
Redness and itching
-
Computer vision syndrome
-
Gritty or foreign body sensation
-
Post-LASIK eye dryness
-
Contact lens-induced dryness
-
Age-related decrease in tear production
-
Tired and strained eyes
These drops provide a protective lubricating layer over the cornea and conjunctiva, helping the eyes remain moist and comfortable throughout the day.
What is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome is a common ocular condition where the eyes do not produce enough quality tears to stay properly lubricated. According to the National Eye Institute (NIH, USA), dry eye occurs when tear film becomes unstable, leading to irritation, redness, and blurred vision.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) states that modern lifestyle factors such as prolonged screen time, air conditioning, contact lens use, and aging are major contributors to dry eye problems.
CMC 0.5 eye drops help manage these symptoms by acting as artificial tears and restoring moisture to the ocular surface.
How Do CMC 0.5 Eye Drops Work?
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium is a proven ocular lubricant. It works through multiple mechanisms:
-
Forms a stable protective film over the eye surface
-
Mimics the function of natural tears
-
Increases tear retention time
-
Reduces friction between eyelids and cornea
-
Prevents rapid evaporation of tears
-
Soothes inflamed ocular tissues
-
Provides prolonged hydration and comfort
By improving tear film stability, CMC 0.5 eye drops help reduce symptoms of dryness and maintain overall eye health. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a proven ocular lubricant recommended worldwide for dry eye management. Clinical studies published in PubMed Central describe CMC as an effective polymer that increases tear film stability and improves ocular surface hydration.
The National Health Service (NHS, UK) also lists carboxymethylcellulose eye drops as a first-line treatment for dry eyes, confirming their safety for regular use.
