Despite this, only a small proportion of products address lipid layer issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHycosan 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreads easily due to low surface tension properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces the outer lipid layer of the tear film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps to indirectly re-establish the tear film's watery layer by preventing its evaporation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases tear film thickness, as well as lipid layer thickness, over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreservative \u0026amp; phosphate free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Hycosan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48391369130307,"sku":"HYCOSAN SHIELD","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/6665\/0947\/files\/Hycosan-Shield.webp?v=1715452460","url":"https:\/\/ocularexpress.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/hycosan%c2%ae-shield","provider":"Ocular Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
