Hycosan Shield

Evaporative dry eyes are caused by an unstable or deficient lipid layer of the tear film (the top outer most layer) that affects almost 90% of dry eye patients. Despite this, only a small proportion of products address lipid layer issues.

Hycosan Shield offers the unique lipid layer replacement benefits of perfluorohexyloctane. This allows Hycosan Shield to replace the function of the lipid layer, forming an outer shield over the surface of the tear film, reducing evaporation of the watery layer.

Key Benefits

• Targeted Lipid Replenishment: Specifically formulated to soothe gritty and dry eyes by replenishing essential tear lipids.

• Unique Water-Free Formula: Features a long-lasting, water-free formula that creates a continuous barrier over the eye.

• Stops Moisture Loss: Actively protects against tear evaporation, tackling the root cause of evaporative dry eye.

• 100% Preservative Free: Completely free from harsh preservatives, making it gentle and safe for sensitive eyes.

• Exceptional Shelf Life: Can be safely used for up to 6 months after the first opening, ensuring maximum value and minimal waste.

How It Works

Unlike traditional artificial tears that primarily replace moisture, HYCOSAN SHIELD restores the outer lipid layer of the tear film.

This protective lipid layer slows tear evaporation, allowing your natural tears to remain on the surface of the eye for longer.

The water-free formulation provides:

Long-Lasting Lipid Protection

Helps strengthen the tear film to reduce moisture loss and improve comfort throughout the day.

Reduced Tear Evaporation

Supports healthier tear film stability, particularly for those with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Improved Ocular Comfort

Relieves the sensation of dry, gritty and irritated eyes by restoring the eye's natural protective barrier.
