Mechanism of Action
Perfluorohexyloctane mediates its actions in the lipid layer and meibomian glands. While the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, perfluorohexyloctane is believed to interact with the air-liquid interface of the tear film and form a monolayer, preventing the evaporation of the aqueous phase of the tears.
Indication
