Mechanism of action

The main task of Vismed Hydrogel drops is to moisturize and protect the cornea, restore the tear film, and replenish the lack of tear fluid.
Sodium hyaluronate is a natural substance that is part of the connective, nervous, epithelial tissues. The compound is present in the structures of the organ of vision, in particular in the vitreous body. The effect of this natural polysaccharide is similar to that of the pre-corneal tear film. The drug has the following properties:

    anti-inflammatory;
    antiseptic;

Elasticity remains an important physical property of the polysaccharide, which makes it possible to retain and bind fluid on the surface of the organ of vision. This ensures complete enveloping of the retina with gel, moisturizing and eliminating dry eyes. The formed protective film does not cause any discomfort, protects the organ of vision from external stimuli for a long time.

Reviews

Tatiana, 22 years old
To be honest, I thought that I had already tried all the ophthalmic remedies to eliminate discomfort in the eyes. The ophthalmologist makes a helpless gesture, they say, everything has already been tried. When I refuse assistive devices, my vision deteriorates. The doctor said that even if it doesn't help, you still need to constantly use some eye drops. Vismed Hydrogel recommended. The gel is well tolerated by me. The droplet is of a rather thick gel consistency, so for some time, not for long, slight discomfort is felt. It passes quickly. I personally have no burning or pinching. I recommend!
