Mechanism of action

Polyvinyl alcohol and povidone act as lubricants, stabilizing the tear film and relieving ocular surface irritation. Povidone-iodine releases free iodine, disrupting microbial proteins and cell membranes, providing broad-spectrum antiseptic action. The result is enhanced ocular surface moisture and reduced microbial load, supporting eye comfort and infection control.
