Hylo-Dual Eye Drops 10ml

Description
Sterile preservative-free solution for ophthalmic use. Hylo Dual moisturizes the cornea and conjunctiva and protects against excessive evaporation of tears. This stabilization of the tear film soothes eye irritation associated with inflammatory symptoms or caused by allergies and eliminates the sensation of burning and itching in the eyes.
Burning and itching in the eyes, tearing, a feeling of a foreign body in the eyes or dryness are symptoms of an irritated eye. These signs often indicate that the eye is not sufficiently hydrated. Another cause could be hypersensitivity to certain substances (such as pollen, animal hair or house dust), or so-called allergies. Since allergies present with the same symptoms, it is difficult to distinguish between a dry eye and an irritated eye due to an allergy. In these cases, Hylo Dual offers particular advantages thanks to its dual mechanism of action due to sodium hyaluronate and ectoine. Hylo Dual contains sodium hyaluronate, a natural substance that is found in the eye and other parts of the body. Sodium hyaluronate has the unique physical property of forming a uniform, stable and long-lasting wetting film on the surface of the eye that is not quickly removed. Ectoin is a natural substance extracted from microorganisms that live in extreme environments (such as salt lakes). To protect themselves from extreme environmental factors, these microorganisms produce ectoin, a natural substance whose special properties are used in Hylo Dual. Ectoin increases the adhesion of water to the cells of the ocular surface, thus creating a physiological barrier for allergens on the conjunctiva. At the same time, ectoin stabilizes the fat-soluble portion of the tear film, which protects against excessive evaporation of tears. The interaction between sodium hyaluronate and ectoin creates a dense, long-lasting film of moisture on the eye, which protects it from evaporation of tears. In this way, Hylo Dual alleviates inflammatory symptoms and typical symptoms of allergic reactions, such as burning and itching caused by environmental irritation.

Composition
1 ml of Hylo Dual contains 0.5 mg sodium hyaluronate, 20 mg ectoine, boric acid, borax and water for injections.
Use Hylo Dual only if the outer packaging is sealed and intact before use.
1) Remove the cap before use. To remove the cap, hold it with one hand and with the other, turn the bottle downwards. Before the first application of Hylo Dual, turn the bottle upside down with the dropper facing downwards and press on the bottom of the bottle to release the first drop from the dropper. The bottle is now ready for use for subsequent applications.
2) Hold the bottle upside down by placing your thumb on the top of the bottle and your other fingers on the bottom of the bottle.
3) Support the hand holding the bottle made with the COMOD technique with your free hand.
4) Tilt your head back slightly, gently pull your lower eyelid down with your free hand and quickly and firmly press the bottom of the bottle. This activates the mechanism for releasing a drop. Thanks to the special valve mechanism of the COMOD system, the size and speed of release of a drop are always the same, regardless of the pressure applied. Close your eyes slowly to allow the fluid to spread evenly over the ocular surface.
5) After use, immediately close the bottle with the cap, making sure that there are no liquid residues on the dropper. During instillation, avoid any contact between the dropper of the bottle and the eye or the skin of the face. The COMOD system releases 10 ml of solution, equivalent to approximately 300 drops. For technical reasons, a small amount of solution always remains in the bottle after use. The use of Hylo Dual does not have a limited duration. It is advisable that the Hylo Dual bottle is intended for the treatment of one person only.
If using any other eye drops, wait at least 30 minutes between applications and always use Hylo Dual last. Eye ointments, however, should always be applied after Hylo Dual. Since Hylo Dual eye drops do not contain preservatives, long-term treatment is particularly well tolerated. Hypersensitivity reactions (burning, excessive tearing) have been observed in very rare cases, but these disappear immediately when Hylo Dual is stopped. Hylo Dual can also be used when wearing contact lenses. After applying contact lenses we recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes before applying eye drops in order to avoid possible intolerance reactions that could be caused by interactions between contact lens cleaners and Hylo Dual. There is currently no information available on the use of the product during pregnancy and breast-feeding. If you are pregnant, breast-feeding or could be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Hylo Dual.
Hylo Dual should be administered according to the recommendations of your ophthalmologist. In general, for adults and children aged 6 years and over, 1 drop of Hylo Dual is instilled 3 times a day into the conjunctival sac of each eye. If Hylo Dual is used more frequently (e.g. more than 10 times a day) and in case of more severe complaints, it is necessary to consult an ophthalmologist to have your eyes examined regularly. Hylo Dual is suitable for long-term use; however, as with any other condition, if the complaints persist (e.g. more than two weeks) it is strongly recommended to consult an ophthalmologist.
