Clinical
Bion Tears is an over-the-counter eye drop solution containing dextran 70 and hypromellose. These ingredients are commonly used together in lubricating eye drops to help relieve dry eye symptoms by increasing tear film thickness and moisture on the eye surface. Dextran and hypromellose function as viscosity agents that coat and protect the eye. This is an OTC monograph product, meaning it is marketed under federal guidelines for its category rather than through individual product approval.
