By drawing water out of corneal tissue through osmotic action, it helps reduce swelling, improve vision clarity, and alleviate irritation. It is commonly prescribed following eye surgery, injury, or corneal disorders. The drops should be instilled as directed, avoiding contact between the dropper tip and the eye to maintain sterility. Prolonged use should be monitored by an ophthalmologist.
