it is quinolinone derivative. is most recent treatment for dry eye.some people advocate is as 1st line of drug for dry eye .as it acts by releasing mucin like substance which protects cornea and c onjuntivitiva.it was first used for gastric ulcer to protect gastric mucin layer.
it is not widely used due to its irritant nature. long-term usage results are not known.
most of us advocate it for severe dry eye.
if you have severe dry eye you can try it and give the feedback so that we are more confident. to use or not to use it for others

Hello
You may use softvisc .... It is just a lubricating eyedrop... You may use it as per your comfort
I am sorry but I am not aware about composition of rebamipide eyedrop.... Kindly share composition of this eyedrop so that I may guide you better
