Product Information

Increased viscosity promotes stabilization of the tear film and retention of the eye drop in the eye, thus, helping to optimize ocular hydration. It is used for the treatment of the symptoms of dry eye (such as soreness, burning, irritation or dryness) caused by you not producing enough tears to keep the eye wet.

More recently, the roles of tears, tear film osmolarity, and ocular surface inflammation in dry eye disease is beginning to be elucidated. Preservative Free Eye Drops do not contain preservatives or phosphates so are less likely to cause additional irritation to the eye, making them ideal for people who are sensitve to the preservatives in other kinds of eye drops. If you are using any other eye drops or ointments, leave about ten minutes between applying each one. Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse has told you.If you forget to use the drops at your 'usual' time, do not worry, just put them in when you remember. HA has been shown to be effective in treating severe dry eye, 32 , 33 and studies have also demonstrated that artificial tears containing HA may reduce damage to the ocular surface in patients with dry eye disease. Osmoprotectants function as compatible solutes, accumulating in ocular surface cells and protecting them from cell volume loss, cellular stress, and induction of an inflammatory response under hyperosmotic conditions. However, responses were less favorable with CHO-2, which caused more blur than RT, especially when first applied. HA is a naturally occurring linear biopolymer of glycosaminoglycan disaccharides with notable hygroscopic capacity.
