About Irimist-V 2% Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml

Irimist-V 2% Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml is used to treat dry eye disease and in eye surgeries. Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs if you don't produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye's surface.
