Thick GELs ... and OINTMENTS ... not just for night time
More viscous aqueous tear substitutes / eye gels contain a higher proportion (approx. 0.3%) of hyaluronic acid and / or other substances for water retention and can thus moisturize the eye for a longer time.
for a moderately advanced dry eye condition: gels and ointments are primarily intended for overnight use, mainly because they may cause temporary foggy vision during day time that is unconvenient for many patients.
