Blink Fresh (1.4/0.6%) 10ml Eye Drops

Povidone 0.006% and Polyvinyl Alcohol eye drops primarily work by providing lubrication and moisture to the ocular surface. The Polyvinyl Alcohol component forms a protective film over the eye, helping to soothe and relieve irritation. This film also aids in reducing friction and promoting tear stability, which is essential for maintaining eye comfort. Povidone, with its gentle cleansing properties, helps to remove impurities and maintain the overall health of the ocular environment.
