For lubrication that can support the healing of a damaged surface of the eye due to dry eyes or surgical procedures.

For regeneration and maintenance of healthy eyes the ocular surface - cornea and conjunctiva - has to be continuously wet. Ideally this is provided by our tears. However, some people have poor quality tear film or an insufficient volume of tears. When these factors are present, the surface of the eye can become tired, red, itchy, sore and you may experience foreign body or burning sensation. These symptoms of an inadequate supply of physiological tears may occur in dry or airconditioned environment, as well as a result of a medical treatment or due to age.

The epithelial cells of the cornea and conjunctiva continuously regenerate and this happens most effectively when the surface of the eye is well lubricated. Therefore, it is also important that after surgical procedures the ocular surface is sufficiently lubricated so that the wound heals quickly and effectively.

In all of the above cases it is important to apply sufficient lubrication to the eye by applying HYCOSAN PLUS in order to renew the physiologic balance of lubrication and moisturisation of the eye.

HYCOSAN PLUS contains the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid which is a physiologic substance of the eye but also of other parts of the body. Sodium hyaluronate has the special property to form an even and long-lasting lubricating film on the surface of the eye without being rinsed away quickly. With it the moisturising effect is prolonged without impairing vision. Therefore, HYCOSAN PLUS can be used during the day when eye ointments should not be used because of their thick viscosity which causes blurred vision.

Additionally, HYCOSAN PLUS contains dexpanthenol which belongs to the group of B vitamins. Dexpanthenol provides the eyes surface with an effective environment that supports healing, and the lubricating properties of sodium hyaluronate provide additional support. Consequently, small superficial erosions of the ocular surface caused by an insufficient tear film heal faster as well as wounds which are the inevitable result of a surgical procedure.

HYCOSAN PLUS ensures not only a sufficient supply of lubrication to the eye but at the same time provides an improved regeneration of corneal and conjunctival epithelia.
