Hycosan Night & Day

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.

• Spreads easily due to low surface tension properties
• Replaces the outer lipid layer of the tear film
• Helps to indirectly re-establish the tear film's watery layer by preventing its evaporation
• Increases tear film thickness, as well as lipid layer thickness, over time
• Preservative & phosphate free
  
  

While we are asleep, no tears are produced. If you suffer from dry eye, this can lead to a painful awakening, resulting in the eyelids sticking together and unpleasant incrustations forming. The conjunctiva and the skin on the edges of the eyelids can also become irritated and inflamed due to friction.

Hycosan Night eye ointment remains in the eye for up to 6 hours, enabling optimal moisturisation during the night. Hycosan Night eye ointment can be used for up to 6 months after first opening.

Key features of Hycosan Night:

• preservative-free, phosphate free and therefore very well tolerated
• Remains sterile for 6 months from opening
• Very cost effective with up to 300 applications in one 5g tube
• Excellent duration of action offering at least 6 hours of comfort
