Iocta PF Eye Drop 10ml contains hypromellose, a lubricating (artificial tear) agent used to relieve dry eyes, irritation, and discomfort caused by reduced tear production. It works by forming a protective film over the eye surface, providing moisture and long-lasting relief from dryness due to environmental factors, screen exposure, or contact lens use. Preservative-free (PF) formulation makes it suitable for sensitive eyes and frequent use. Similar lubricants help restore natural moisture and soothe burning or irritation.
