Drops of relief

Positive Impact has launched a new type of eye drop formulated to improve dry eye symptoms and contact lens comfort.

The company said the drops use a natural formulation to reduce the sensation of dry, gritty eyes. The natural bi-polymer improves water absorption compared with single polymers.

Positive Impact said the drop increases ocular comfort by reducing osmolarity, increasing time on the corneal surface and through increasing tear break-up times. This was corroborated by the results of a study in which participants agreed that HydraMed improved their dry eye symptoms and the beginning and end of the day, said the company.
