Celluvisc Eye Drops (Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium 1%) is an over-the-counter product used to relieve the symptoms of dry eye. Dry eye is a condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears are of poor quality. The symptoms of dry eye include soreness, burning, irritation, and dryness. The active ingredient in Celluvisc Eye Drops is Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium 1%. Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium 1% belongs to a class of medications known as artificial tears. It works by creating a protective layer on the surface of the eye, which helps to moisturize and soothe the cornea and conjunctiva. By mimicking the properties of natural tears, the medication helps to relieve dry eye symptoms.
