Description:

This ophthalmic solution is a combination of three active ingredients:

Potassium Iodide 3.3% w/v: Known for its anti-sclerotic properties, potassium iodide is used in the management of senile cataracts and other degenerative ocular conditions. It helps dissolve and clear lens opacities.
Calcium Chloride 1.0% w/v: An essential mineral for ocular metabolism and lens transparency. It supports enzymatic activity necessary for maintaining lens clarity.
Sodium Chloride LR 0.83% w/v: Acts as a tonicity-adjusting agent and maintains osmotic balance. It ensures isotonicity and enhances the overall tolerability of the solution.

Together, these ingredients help maintain eye health, delay cataract progression, and improve visual clarity in patients with early-stage lenticular opacity or post-operative recovery.
