#xerophthalmia
- Antixerophthalmic — Preventing, combating, or curing xerophthalmia (the pathological dryness of the conjunctiva and cornea caused by a lack of tear secretion); it refers specifically to vitamin A (retinol) or to compounds that stimulate the trophicity of ocular mucosa, ensuring protection against tissue keratinization and the maintenance of normal visual acuity under low light conditions.
- Axeroftol — An alternative scientific name for vitamin A1 (retinol), a fat-soluble compound essential for maintaining the structural integrity of epithelial tissues, optimizing visual processes in low-light conditions, and boosting the immune system. This organic compound acts as a cellular protective shield, preventing xerophthalmia (corneal dryness) and promoting a profound, delicate regeneration of the skin and mucous membranes.
