## What is Misty Eye Drop

Misty Eye Drop is an eye lubricant, also known as artificial tears, designed to relieve irritations caused by dry eyes. It contains 0.05% Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a cellulose derivative that acts as a moisture binder and helps create artificial eye tears.

Nri Vision Care India Limited manufactures this eye drop.

## What are the benefits of Misty Eye Drop

Misti Eye Drops contains Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), an effective eye lubricant that works like natural tears. This cellulose-based compound retains moisture and forms a protective layer on the eye surface. It soothes irritation, reduces dryness, and shields the eyes from further damage.

This medicine provides quick relief from burning sensations and discomfort caused by dry eyes.
