HOW LUBIMOIST WORKS:

n

Sodium hyaluronate is a salt form of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide naturally present in the extracellular matrix of human connective tissue. Ophthalmic application of hyaluronic acid binds to fibronectin and accelerates the adhesion and extension of ocular epithelial cells. It effectively moistens your eyes, accelerates wound healing of corneal epithelium and relieves your eyes from dryness, burning sensation and irritation.
