Abstract

Background 
Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a common condition characterized by insufficient tear production 
or excessive tear evaporation, leading to discomfort, visual disturbances, and potential 
damage to the ocular surface. Carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) is frequently used in artificial 
tears for its viscosity and lubricating properties. The addition of glycerin and balanced 
electrolytes to CMC formulations may enhance moisture retention and support ocular surface 
health, potentially offering superior relief from DES symptoms.
