Refresh Optive Advanced is an over-the-counter eye drop solution marketed under FDA's OTC monograph rules for lubricating eye drops. It contains carboxymethylcellulose sodium and glycerin, which are lubricants typically used to help relieve dry eye discomfort by moisturizing and coating the eye surface. Polysorbate 80 functions as a surfactant to help distribute the active ingredients evenly across the eye. This product is applied directly to the eye as needed.
