Corner gel - a protector of the cornea, which stimulates regenerative processes and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Pantothenic acid is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for the formation and repair of mucous membranes and skin. Alcohol analogue of pantothenic acid - dexpanthenol, has the same biological activity, but with topical application it is absorbed better. Dexpanthenol compensates for the increased need for damaged mucous membranes and skin in pantothenic acid.
Carbomer, one of the components of the drug, does not penetrate into the tissues of the eyeball and into the systemic bloodstream. The carbomer prolongs the period of interaction of the solution with the surface layer of the corneal cells, whereby the action of dexpanthenol is prolonged.

Reviews
We picked up some reviews of people taking the drug Korneregel:
- Nastya. And I too use Korneregel - I put it or him for the night, as the doctor has appointed or nominated for healing a cornea (lenses it or her can damage), after its or his application in the morning I feel the rested eyes. I still had a doctor recommend moisturizing drops of Artelak Balance, as I use them during the day to remove the dryness. To be honest, I because of this discomfort, which I experienced when wearing lenses, wanted to refuse them, but now of course I will not wear glasses again.
- Aurora. For different cases the gel is suitable, but the only thing is to heal and restore the eye surface it helps. I'm friends with Korneregel because I'm a long-time user of lenses, plus I work in them, because of this, the whole eye is worse moistened and discomfort begins. And this gel restores my eyes well. Without it, nowhere.
- Sasha. I do not see the sense of refusing the lens, but that's about the fact that some discomfort in their eyes may appear from them, all the same, we should not forget. In this regard, it's also the corneregel that helps me. It happens, rub your eyes with a lens, so you just have to shake this gel and discomfort passes.
