Tear substitutes have compositions similar to the ones in our tear film and Dextran is one of them. It's completely safe.

No issues Sir..Ma'am can safely use Eyedrops Tears Naturale ll or Eyedrops Tears Naturale Forte for both eyes 1 drop 4 times a day, gives soothing comfort to the eyes. She can use it for as long as she wants. Always mention a date over the bottle whenever you open it and use it only for a period of 1 month. For next month you can buy another Eyedrops.
