Tear-substitute agents for contact lens use - based on glucose and produced e.g. from mannitol or sorbitol

摘要

The use of preserved- and non-preserved tear substitute agents based on glucose is claimed. The agents are not based on methyl cellulose or PVA. The agent is produced with e.g mannitol or sorbitol as a lubricant for contact lens examination. The range of use of preserved- and non-preserved Thilo-Tears (RTM) gel is widened using carbomer and mannitol as a lubricant. ADVANTAGE - Contact lenses are more quickly accepted by the eye surface.
