HP-Guar®-Technology
Hydroxypropyl-guar, or HP-Guar®, acts as a gelling agent, creating an elastic matrix on the corneal surface upon instillation1, producing a protective environment and forming a bio-adhesive gel that binds specifically to the hydrophobic regions of the cornea, where integrity is compromised.3
Benefits of HP-Guar® include:
- Increased retention4
- Prolonged protection4
- Greater hydration and lubrication compared to hyaluronic acid (HA) alone4
For All/Mixed Dry Eye
Some patients suffer from a combination of both Evaporative Dry Eye, with tears evaporating too quickly, and Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye, where the lacrimal gland doesn’t produce enough tear fluid5.
For Evaporative Dry Eye
As the name suggests, tears evaporate too quickly but lacrimation (watering) is normal5. One of the leading causes is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)5.
For Aqueous Deficient Eye
Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye indicates Dry Eye as a result of a lacrimal gland tear secretion defect. Essentially, the lacrimal gland doesn’t produce enough tear fluid5.
