Optifucine Eye Drops is an ophthalmic preparation used for eye care and the treatment of certain bacterial eye infections. It is formulated as a gel to prolong the contact time of the active ingredient with the eye surface, providing excellent lubrication. The gel rapidly turns into a liquid upon contact with the eye.
