What is dry eyes? Dry eyes can occur when the eyes have difficulty producing tears or there is a reduced production of tears.

How does Liquifilm Tears work? The active ingredient contained in this product, polyvinyl alcohol is known as an eye lubricant.
It works by decreasing the surface tension of the tears so that they spread more easily over the surface of the eye and don't break into dry spots.
It also has properties similar to the natural mucin produced by the conjunctiva, which soothes and lubricates the eye and enhances the stability of the tear film.
