To treat dry, itchy eyes, this medication is used. Many things cause dry eyes, including wind, sun, heat, reading on a computer, air conditioning, and certain medications.

Cellulose and chloroacetic acid are reacted through an alkali-catalyzed reaction. The polar (organic acid) carboxyl groups make the cellulose soluble and chemically reactive. After the initial reaction, the mixture produces around 60% CMC and 40% salts.
