Description
Indications
Genteal Artificial Tears Gel is used to relieve eye dryness, discomfort caused by minor irritations, wind, or sun exposure, and serves as a protectant against further irritation.
As an eye lubricant, Genteal Artificial Tears Gel works by maintaining eye moisture, safeguarding against injury and infection, and alleviating dry eye symptoms, including burning, itching, and the sensation of foreign particles in the eye.
