Lubricating Gel Extended-duration gel formula

Product Overview

Hypromellose 0.3% ophthalmic gel for prolonged-duration lubrication in moderate to severe dry eye and nocturnal ocular surface protection.

About Op-Hydro Gel

Op-Hydro Gel features Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (Hypromellose) 0.3% w/w in a sterile ophthalmic gel formulation designed for extended-duration ocular surface lubrication. The gel phase transition upon contact with the ocular surface transforms from a viscous gel to a thin, transparent film that resists blink-induced washout far longer than conventional eye drops. This sustained residence time makes Op-Hydro Gel particularly effective for nocturnal dry eye management, where overnight corneal protection is needed, and for moderate to severe dry eye patients requiring fewer but longer-lasting applications throughout the day.
