Filtear Eye Drop is a dual-action ophthalmic solution formulated with Polyethylene Glycol 0.4% and Propylene Glycol 0.3%, designed to provide rapid and sustained relief from dry, irritated, or fatigued eyes. This combination acts as an artificial tear substitute, replenishing the natural tear film and maintaining ocular surface hydration. Filtear is ideal for individuals experiencing dry eye symptoms due to environmental factors, prolonged screen use, contact lens wear, or age-related tear deficiency.

Polyethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol are water-soluble polymers that act as lubricants, forming a protective layer on the corneal and conjunctival surfaces. This helps prevent moisture loss, reduce friction during blinking, and alleviate discomfort, burning, or stinging sensations associated with dry eyes. The balanced formulation ensures prolonged retention on the ocular surface while minimizing irritation, providing effective lubrication for both short-term relief and long-term ocular surface health.
