Doctorʼs Impression

“Preservative free ointment with Vitamin A. This ointment is ideal for dry eye symptoms or those with Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient necessary for proper vision and ocular health. It is important for the proper functionality of goblet cells, which use Vitamin A to create the mucus layer of the tear film; this increases the integrity of the tear film. Ocunox is a great ointment for improving and protecting the ocular surface by providing moisture overnight.”
