Data analyses and revision of the DED symptoms. A novel ophthalmic solution containing cross-linked CMC (CX-CMC) and Silk Proteins (SP) has been made available on the market. Both molecules have been widely studied for their viscoelastic and hydrating, and wound healing properties. This new ophthalmic solution is the first on the market formulated with a CX-CMC and SP.
