HYLO® is recommended for dry eye and rewetting of contact lenses to minimize dryness.
HYLO®:
- Offers immediate comfort and long lasting dry eye relief.
- Is preservative free and usually very well tolerated.
- Is phosphate free, avoiding complications like deposits in the cornea.
How does HYLO® work?
HYLO® eye drops contain Sodium Hyaluronate, the sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid. It forms a regular, stable, long lasting lubricating film on the ocular surface. This film is not easily rinsed off and does not cause blurred vision.
Hyaluronic Acid:
- Is a mucopolysacharide consisting of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-glucosamine.
- Occurs in the human body as part of the extracellular matrix of the conjunctival tissue, the cartilage and the synovial fluid (physiological).
- Has pseudoplastic (non-newtonian) rheological properties.
- Is an ideal lubricant thanks to its mucomimetic and water-retentive properties.
Who can use HYLO®?
HYLO® is suitable for all ages, for pregnant women and during lactation.
When should HYLO® not be used?
HYLO® should not be used if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients. As HYLO® is preservative free, it is well tolerated even when used over extended periods of time. In very rare cases hypersensitive reactions like burning or excessive tearing have been reported which stopped immediately when the use of HYLO® was discontinued.
How often and for how long can HYLO® be used?
Normally your patient may instill one drop three times a day into each eye. HYLO® can also be used more frequently if necessary. HYLO® is suitable for long-term treatment.
Is HYLO® suitable for contact lens wearers?
HYLO® is recommended for rewetting of contact lenses to minimize dryness. HYLO® is compatible with hard and soft contact lenses and can be used while wearing contact lenses.
