Medical Overview
Refresh is listed as Ophthalmic containing Carboxymethylcellulose. A medicine used according to its active ingredient, dosage form, and the patient’s condition.
Artificial tears (CMC 0.5%) — the screen era’s first-line: tear-film substitute for digital eye strain (we blink ⅓ as often at screens), AC air and dusty seasons. Safe up to ~2-hourly; beyond 4-6×/day switch to preservative-free (preservative itself irritates). Treat causes too: 20-20-20 rule, deliberate blinking; painful/photophobic dryness needs diagnosis, not stronger lubricant.
