Hycosan Original Eye Drops - 7.5ml

HYCOSAN Original is a sterile preservative-free solution for ocular use.

1 ml HYCOSAN Original contains 1 mg sodium hyaluronate, citric acid anhydrous, sodium citrate, sorbitol and water for injections.

HYCOSAN Original is a lubricating eye drop for moderate dry eye providing relief from discomfort associated with environmental conditions or contact lens wear.

If your eyes are itching, burning, or easily tiring, if it feels as if you had sand in your eyes, this might be due to a lack of moisture on the surface of your eyes. If you spent a longer time in an air-conditioned room, for example, or after intense computer work the natural tear film that usually covers the eye surface breaks up more quickly. For your eye tissue to be fully functioning, it needs to be continuously lubricated by a tear film.

Due to injuries of the eye the physiologic secretion of tears can be reduced. However, for the regeneration of the superficial tissues of the eye a continuous and sufficient lubrication is necessary. The application of HYCOSAN Original supplies long lasting moisture to cornea and conjunctiva so that the physiologic process of healing is efficaciously supported.

HYCOSAN Original contains the sodium salt of the hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found in the eye but also in other parts of the body. Due to its special physical property, it forms a regular, stable, long lasting lubricating moisture film on the ocular surface that is not easily rinsed off. It does, however, not cause blurred vision and protects your eyes from dryness and irritation for a long time.

This is particularly important if you wear contact lenses, because the contact lens needs to swim in sufficient tear fluid in order not to cause any discomfort. HYCOSAN Original may be used while wearing all types of contact lenses. Wearing soft or hard contact lenses will be made more comfortable by using HYCOSAN Original as it does not form crusts or deposits.

As HYCOSAN Original is preservative-free it is usually very well tolerated. Additionally, HYCOSAN Original is free of phosphates so that complications like deposits in the cornea are avoided.
