Hylosoft Eye Drop 0.1%

Description

Product Description

Hylosoft Eye Drop is designed to supplement the tear film and lubricate the surface of the eye. Its active ingredient, Sodium Hyaluronate, has strong water-binding properties that help retain moisture across the corneal and conjunctival surfaces.

The formulation can be prescribed when the eyes feel dry, irritated, gritty or uncomfortable. It may also be used when reduced tear-film stability contributes to ocular surface discomfort. Once applied, the solution spreads over the eye during blinking and forms a moisturizing layer that helps reduce friction between the eyelids and the ocular surface.

Hylosoft is intended for ophthalmic use only and should be used according to the instructions provided by your eye specialist.

Uses

• Relief of symptoms associated with dry eyes.
• Helps reduce burning and irritation caused by ocular surface dryness.
• Provides lubrication for uncomfortable or gritty-feeling eyes.
• Helps maintain moisture on the corneal and conjunctival surface.
• May be prescribed for ocular surface discomfort associated with environmental dryness or prolonged visual activities.

Key Benefits

• Contains Sodium Hyaluronate 0.1% w/v as the lubricating ingredient.
• Helps retain moisture on the eye surface.
• Supports smoother movement of the eyelids over the cornea.
• Provides lubrication without containing an antibiotic or corticosteroid.
• Available as a convenient 10 ml ophthalmic solution.

How to Use

• Use Hylosoft Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist.
• Wash your hands before applying the drops.
• Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid.
• Instil the prescribed number of drops without allowing the dropper tip to touch the eye, eyelids or surrounding skin.
• Close the eye gently after application and avoid forceful blinking.
• If you use other ophthalmic medicines, maintain the interval recommended by your ophthalmologist.
• Follow your eye specialist’s instructions regarding contact lens use during treatment.
• Keep the bottle properly closed after use.

How It Works

Sodium Hyaluronate is a hydrophilic polymer that can attract and retain water on the ocular surface. After application, it spreads across the cornea and conjunctiva and contributes to a more stable moisture layer. This lubrication reduces friction during blinking and helps relieve the discomfort associated with dryness and surface irritation. Because it primarily acts as a lubricant, its role is to support the eye’s surface environment rather than treat an underlying infection.

Side Effects

• Temporary blurred vision immediately after instillation.
• Mild stinging or burning.
• Eye irritation.
• Redness of the eye.
• Watery eyes.
• Foreign-body sensation.
• Sensitivity to light may occur in some patients.

Contact your ophthalmologist if these effects are persistent, severe or getting worse.

Precautions & Warnings

• Do not use Hylosoft if you have previously experienced an allergic reaction to Sodium Hyaluronate or any other ingredient in the formulation.
• Use the drops only in the eyes and do not swallow the solution.
• Do not allow the bottle tip to touch the eye, eyelashes, fingers or other surfaces because contamination can introduce microorganisms into the bottle.
• If your vision becomes temporarily blurred after application, avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear.
• Tell your ophthalmologist about all other eye drops, ointments and medicines you are using.
• Maintain the interval advised by your ophthalmologist when more than one eye medicine is being used.
• Contact lens wearers should follow their ophthalmologist’s advice regarding lens removal and replacement after applying the drops.
• Consult your doctor before using Hylosoft during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Seek medical attention if you develop significant eye pain, marked redness, discharge, swelling or a sudden change in vision.
• If dryness or irritation continues despite treatment, an eye examination may be needed to identify the underlying cause rather than continuing self-treatment indefinitely.
