Optixcare Eye Lubricant is the number-one selling ocular lubricant to veterinary ophthalmologists. OptixCare is a moisturizing ophthalmic lubricant in a unique sterile carbomer gel that is specifically designed for veterinary use. Carbomer gel is a well-known stabilizer that promotes adhesion to the surface of the eye and has extender-like properties. The Carbomer gel swells in the presence of tears and changes consistency to a clear, water-like suspension over the surface of the eye. Hyaluron works well at attracting and retaining water.
Optixcare Eye Lube Plus combines hyaluron and carbomer resulting in a hydrogel synergy where there is a sustained release of hydrophilic carbomer delivery matrix that is infused with nourishing and hydrating hyaluron. The carbomer gel offers a viscosity to the gel that causes it to remain on the cornea for an extended period of time. This viscosity also allows for easy control of the drop as it is applied to the eye. Optixcare Eye Lube gel immediately becomes more liquid on contact with the salt in tears. Because of the water base and the gel viscosity, only one drop per eye is needed.
