HYLO GEL

Lubricating eye drops

Description
Sterile preservative-free solution for ophthalmic use.
It is an eye drop indicated for the therapeutic lubrication of the ocular surface in the presence of an intense and persistent sensation of ocular dryness, including in pre- and postoperative treatment.
HYLO GEL contains the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in many organs of the human body, including the eyes. Its unique feature is the formation of a homogeneous, stable and long-lasting lubricating and wetting film on the ocular surface, which is difficult to remove. Thanks to this so-called bioadhesive property, HYLO GEL protects the cornea and conjunctiva and, together with natural tears, allows the eyelid to glide easily over the ocular surface. HYLO GEL contains a large amount of sodium hyaluronate, which increases its viscosity, thus providing the eye with a moisturizing and soothing film with an intense and long-lasting effect.
HYLO GEL relieves persistent or particularly intense symptoms and protects the eye from further irritation.
Physiological tear secretion can be reduced following surgery, eye injuries, medication, etc. Continuous moistening of the ocular surface is essential for tissue regeneration. Application of HYLO GEL further moistens and lubricates the cornea and conjunctiva, optimizing the wound healing process.
Due to the absence of preservatives, HYLO GEL is generally very well tolerated. In addition, HYLO GEL does not contain phosphates, thus avoiding potential complications due to the formation of insoluble deposits in the cornea.

How to use
Remove the cap before use. To remove the cap, hold it firmly with one hand and turn the bottle upside down with the other.
Before the first application, turn the bottle upside down with the pipette down and press the bottom of the bottle to release the first drop from the pipette. The bottle is now ready for subsequent applications.
Hold the bottle upside down, with your thumb on top and your fingers below. Support the hand holding the bottle with your free hand. Tilt your head back slightly and press quickly and firmly on the bottom of the bottle. This activates the mechanism that releases a drop. Thanks to the special valve mechanism of the COMOD system, the size and speed of a drop are always the same, regardless of the pressure applied.
Close your eyes slowly to allow the liquid to spread across the surface of the eye.
Close the bottle with the cap immediately after use.
Make sure the pipette tip is dry.
When applying the liquid, avoid any contact between the tip of the bottle and your eyes or skin.
The COMOD system delivers 10 ml of solution, equivalent to approximately 300 drops. For technical reasons, a small amount of solution always remains in the bottle after use.
HYLO GEL is indicated for long-term treatment.
The bottle of HYLO GEL should always be used by the same person.

Use HYLO GEL at your own discretion and/or as directed by your ophthalmologist. Generally, one drop of HYLO GEL is instilled into each eye three times a day. More frequent use is permitted if necessary. In this case (e.g. more than 10 times a day), consult your ophthalmologist.
HYLO GEL is indicated for long-term treatment. As with any condition, it is advisable to consult an ophthalmologist if symptoms persist.

components
1 ml of HYLO GEL contains 2 mg of sodium hyaluronate, anhydrous citric acid, sodium citrate, sorbitol and water for injections.

warnings
If you are using other eye drops, wait at least 30 minutes before applying HYLO GEL, which should always be used last. Eye ointments, on the other hand, should always be applied after instilling HYLO GEL.
Since HYLO GEL is preservative-free, it is well tolerated even with prolonged use. In very rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions such as a burning sensation or excessive tearing have been reported, which resolve immediately after discontinuing use of HYLO GEL.
HYLO GEL relieves the symptoms of particularly intense and persistent dry eyes. If your ophthalmologist has no objections to wearing contact lenses despite the dryness, HYLO GEL can be used while wearing contact lenses. However, stains may appear on the contact lenses, which disappear after a few blinks.
Due to the viscosity of the preparation, application of HYLO GEL may be followed by temporary blurring of vision.
To avoid possible incompatibility reactions due to possible interactions between contact lens care products and HYLO GEL, we recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes after inserting contact lenses before instilling eye drops.
HYLO GEL can be used in children, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Do not use HYLO GEL in case of hypersensitivity to one of the components.
Keep out of reach of children.
Use HYLO gel only if the outer packaging is sealed and intact before first use.
