HYLO GEL®: Long-lasting moisturization for chronically dry eyes

HYLO GEL® Eye drops have been specially developed for chronic dry eyes and severe forms of dry eyes.They provide efficient humidification and support the healing process after eye surgery.The eye drops contain 0.2% hyaluronic acid, are free of preservatives and phosphates and do not impair vision.

Effective relief for severe complaints

HYLO GEL® Eye drops are designed to relieve persistent and severe symptoms such as itching, foreign body sensation, red and burning eyes.They permanently protect the eye from irritation and support postoperative care.The COMOD® system guarantees precise dosage, high yield of at least 300 drops and a long shelf life of 6 months.The eye drops are very well tolerated and do not require a prescription, but can be prescribed.

Long-lasting eye lubrication thanks to highly concentrated hyaluronic acid

HYLO GEL® Eye drops contain hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body and eyes.Due to the high hyaluronic acid content, they form a stable protective film on the irritated surface of the eye.The conjunctiva and cornea are intensively and sustainably moisturized without impairing vision.The eye drops are also compatible with hard and soft contact lenses.

Dry eyes

Dry eyes, also called Sicca syndrome, are a common eye disease.In Germany, one in five adults is affected.The main causes are the increasing use of digital media and intensive screen work.Environmental influences such as drafts, air conditioning and fine dust pollution as well as certain illnesses, hormonal changes and age-related processes can also cause dry eyes.

Surgical interventions on the eye

A stable tear film is particularly important after eye surgery, as wounds can only heal well in a sufficiently moist environment. HYLO GEL® with highly concentrated and highly viscous hyaluronic acid has proven itself for postoperative care.The eye drops are preservative- and phosphate-free and can also be used by patients who already suffer from dry eyes before surgery.

Coverage of costs by the health insurance company

HYLO GEL® is the first medical product for eye lubrication that can be prescribed in Germany.If treatment is necessary, the costs can in certain cases be reimbursed by statutory health insurance companies.The eye drops can be prescribed by the doctor in accordance with Appendix V of the Medicines Directive in the absence or damage of the tear gland, various autoimmune diseases, paralysis of the facial nerves and incomplete eyelid closure.

Frequently asked questions & Answers

How often should I use HYLO GEL® eye drops daily? HYLO GEL® eye drops offer intensive and long-lasting moisturization for severe and chronic forms of dry eyes.Dose the eye drops individually according to your condition or the recommendations of your ophthalmologist.In general, 1 drop of HYLO GEL® is dripped into the conjunctival sac of each eye 3 times a day.If the symptoms are more severe, the eye drops can be used more often during the day.If you use HYLO GEL® in addition to another drug treatment with eye drops, please keep the application interval of at least 30 minutes.In this case, HYLO GEL® should be administered last.If you also use an eye ointment, rub it into the conjunctival sac after using HYLO GEL®.

What do I have to pay attention to when I use HYLO GEL® with contact lenses? HYLO GEL® is also compatible with contact lenses.After inserting the visual aids, it is recommended to wait about 30 minutes before using the lubricating eye drops.In this way, possible intolerance reactions due to interactions between contact lens care products and HYLO GEL® can be avoided. Due to the gel-like consistency of the eye drops, a short-term streaking may occur immediately after instillation.This generally disappears after a few blinks.

How can I ensure that my eyes are sufficiently moistened overnight? HYLO GEL® uses highly viscous hyaluronic acid to ensure particularly good adhesion to the surface of the eye and a long-lasting moisturizing effect into the night.If you suffer from severe dry eye symptoms, particularly at night, the use of the eye drops can be supplemented with an overnight moisturizing eye ointment such as HYLO NIGHT®.The ointment with vitamin A spreads well over the surface of the eye and improves the tear film.

What are the benefits of eye drops without preservatives?Preservatives are used in many preparations to prevent pathogenic germs from getting into the eyes.If eye drops cannot be kept sterile, bacteria and fungi can easily colonize, which can get into the eye when used and cause infections.However, the preservatives often cannot offer complete protection against germs and can also cause intolerance reactions.With HYLO GEL® - as with all other eye drops in the HYLO® product family - preservatives are deliberately avoided.This is made possible by the unique COMOD® system, which keeps the liquid sterile and hermetically sealed.The eye drops have a shelf life of 6 months after opening, even without preservatives.Avoiding the use of preservatives pays off in two ways: HYLO® eye drops are particularly well tolerated.In addition, only medical products that are preservative-free are suitable for postoperative care, as otherwise proper wound healing will be delayed.
