About Liquifilm Tears Eye Drops

Liquifilm Tears Eye Drops contain polyvinyl alcohol 1.4% w/v, a specialized lubricant used as a substitute for natural tears. It is designed to soothe the symptoms of dry eye syndrome, such as soreness, burning, itching, or a gritty “sand in the eye” sensation. By mimicking the eye’s natural tear film, Liquifilm Tears provides long-lasting moisture and a protective shield over the surface of the eye, offering relief from environmental irritants.

Liquifilm Tears Eye Drops are suitable for adults and children (under medical supervision) and are available in a convenient multi-dose bottle:

• Liquifilm Tears Eye Drops – 15ml
