Frequently asked questions
How does Muro 128 help with corneal edema?
Muro 128 contains 5% sodium chloride, which acts as a hypertonic agent. By increasing osmotic pressure, the ointment draws excess fluid out of the corneal tissue, effectively helping to reduce swelling and provide relief.
Is this the same formula as the eye drops?
Yes, this is the ointment version of the well-known Muro 128 eye drop solution. It uses the same 5% sodium chloride concentration but is formulated as a thicker ointment, which many users prefer for longer-lasting ocular care.
Is this product sterile?
Yes, Bausch + Lomb Muro 128 5% Ointment is a sterile ophthalmic treatment, manufactured to high pharmaceutical standards for safe ocular use.
Is the ointment safe for daily use?
It is specifically designed for ongoing ocular care to manage corneal edema. However, you should always follow the specific regimen prescribed by your doctor regarding frequency and duration of use.
What are the inactive ingredients in this ointment?
The ointment is formulated with a gentle, balanced base consisting of:
- Lanolin
- Mineral oil
- Purified water
- White petrolatum
Does this pack include more than one tube?
Yes, this is a convenient twin-pack. Each retail box contains two separate 1/8 oz (3.5 g) tubes, providing a total of 1/4 oz (7 g) of product.
Why is it considered a hypertonic treatment?
It is classified as hypertonic because the 5% sodium chloride concentration is higher than the natural salinity of the corneal tissue. This osmotic difference is what allows it to pull excess water out of the eye to alleviate edema.

Muro 128 is a doctor-recommended treatment frequently used by eye care professionals for the management of corneal edema.
How long will this supply last?
The twin-pack contains two 3.5 g tubes. The duration of the supply will depend entirely on your specific dosage and frequency of application as directed by your eye care professional.
