Carmize 1% Eye Drops contain an eye lubricant called Carmellose sodium. It is used for the treatment of the symptoms of dry eye (such as soreness, burning, irritation, or dryness) caused by your eye not producing enough tears to keep the eye wet or due to environmental factors. This product is suitable with soft contact lenses.
Carmellose works by clinging to the surface of the eye so is not washed out of the eye as quickly as some lubricating eye drops.
