Allergan states that Optive Fusion is the only artificial tear formulation available in Australia that combines hyaluronic acid (HA) and carmellose sodium (CMC) with osmoprotectants to deliver fast relief for dry eyes. Optive Fusion also promotes an optimal environment for ocular surface regeneration.1-3
The clinically proven ingredients in Optive Fusion coat the ocular surface with a hydrating and lubricating protective shield. HA is a lubricant naturally found in the eye that also has water retention and wound-healing properties. CMC is a mucoadhesive agent, which lubricates and protects the eye surface, while osmoprotectants including glycerin help restore osmotic balance and hydrate the cells on the eye surface.2,3
Optive Fusion is compatible with contact lenses. A preservative-free formulation is available in addition to the multidose bottle.
