Artificial tears characteristics

The ideal artificial tear would reproduce the metabolic, optical, and physical characteristics of natmal tears. Additionally, it would have a long ocular residence time and would contain therapeutic additives to treat primary and secondary damage to the eye. Supplementation of natural tears with a substance that prolongs residence time generally improves tear film breakup time (TBUT) and is superior to tear replacement fluids of low retention time. [Pg.266]
