Indications & Uses
Parafresh is indicated for:
Pharmacology
White soft paraffin, Liquid paraffin and Wool alcohol eye ointment forms a clear, lubricating and moistening film over the surface of the eyeball. It gives soothing relief from the symptoms of dry eyes, such as soreness, irritation or a gritty feeling. These symptoms may come from the eye not making enough tears to stay moist, or from things like certain medical conditions or treatment. The ointment also helps protect the eyeball, so it can be useful for people who suffer from recurrent corneal epithelial erosion.
