When the eye is at rest or between layers of blinking, the sodium hyaluronate molecule is not subjected to shear stress and forms a randomly tangled mesh that creates a viscous, stable and protective coating on the eye's surface for a long time. long-term way.
During blinking, shear stress can cause Sodium Hyaluronate molecules in solution to be able to bond parallel to each other. The solution then becomes less viscous, but more elastic, and spreads easily over the surface of the cornea.
