Application

Hands should be washed thoroughly before use.The cap of the single-dose container is twisted off and the drip opening is held over the eye to be treated.Use the index finger of one hand to pull the lower eyelid downwards.Gently squeezing the container releases a drop of solution.Unless otherwise recommended, 1-2 drops can be dripped into the eye as needed.The solution spreads through the blink of an eye and forms a transparent and durable layer of liquid on the surface of the eye.The eye drops can also be used while wearing hard or soft contact lenses.

Effect of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that the body cannot produce itself and therefore must be supplied through the diet.The most important representatives are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).Vitamin E acts as a free radical scavenger and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.Omega-3 fatty acids provide important starting materials for anti-inflammatory substances in the immune system and contribute to a healthy and stable tear film.

Frequently asked questions and answers

How is the tear film structured?

The tear film consists of three layers: an outer lipid layer, a watery middle layer, and an inner mucin layer.The mucin layer adheres to the corneal surface, the aqueous layer consists of water, nutrients, hyaluronic acid and oxygen, and the lipid layer prevents tears from evaporating.

What is meant by meibomian gland dysfunction?

The meibomian glands are sebaceous glands on the edge of the eyelids.When they are dysfunctional, they become clogged or inflamed, which disrupts the production of the lipid layer of the tear film and can lead to dry eyes.

What else can be done to help with dry eyes?

It is important to drink enough fluids, blink consciously and regularly, ventilate indoor spaces regularly and protect your eyes from drafts.Regular check-ups with an ophthalmologist are also important.Dietary supplements can also help maintain normal vision.
