HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix

Molecular classification: Other (synthetic block copolymer; EOBO-21 polyoxyethylene-polyoxybutylene)

Overview

HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix is a proprietary, surface-active block copolymer (polyoxyethylene-polyoxybutylene, EOBO-21) designed to improve surface wettability and moisture retention on silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses. It is used as an ingredient in Alcon's hydrogen peroxide-based lens cleaning solutions like Clear Care Plus and multipurpose solutions like OptiFree PureMoist, where it surrounds lenses with a hydrophilic barrier that helps prevent dehydration and increases wearer comfort[4][5][8][9]. Key clarification: This is not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or molecular target relevant to pharmacology, therapeutics, or disease biology; the entry should be flagged as miscategorized or not appropriate for inclusion in a drug target or biomolecule database.

Other names: HydraGlydeHydraGlyde Moisture Matrix (EOBO-21 Polyoxyethylene-Polyoxybutylene)
