Hycosan EXTRA Eye Drops - 7.5ml

Hycosan EXTRA contains a higher concentration (2 mg/ml) of sodium hyaluronate compared to standard drops, making it more viscous and providing intensive, long-lasting lubrication for severe and persistent dry eye symptoms. It is also preservative-free and phosphate-free.

Hycosan EXTRA is safe for regular use due to its preservative-free formulation. The frequency of application should be as advised by your eye care professional, typically several times a day depending on the severity of your dry eye symptoms.

> Info needed: While preservative-free eye drops are often compatible with contact lenses, please consult your eye care professional or the product packaging for specific guidance regarding Hycosan EXTRA and contact lens use. Always follow your optician's advice.

Being phosphate-free is important because phosphate-containing eye drops can, in rare cases, lead to the formation of insoluble calcium phosphate deposits on the cornea, especially in individuals with pre-existing corneal damage. Hycosan EXTRA avoids this potential complication.

> Info needed: The typical shelf-life after opening for many preservative-free eye drops is 6 months, but this can vary. Please refer to the specific instructions on the Hycosan EXTRA packaging for the exact period after which the drops should be discarded.

Hycosan EXTRA is specifically formulated for intensive, therapeutic lubrication in more severe and persistent cases of dry eye. For mild or occasional dry eyes, other Hycosan formulations with lower concentrations of sodium hyaluronate might be more appropriate. Consult your eye care professional to determine the best option for your condition.

Practice in front of a mirror. Gently pulling down the lower eyelid creates a larger target. Some users find it easier to lie down or use their index finger to support the hand holding the bottle.

Due to its higher viscosity, a slight temporary blurring may occur. This is normal and should clear quickly after blinking several times. Avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear.

Although Hycosan EXTRA is generally well-tolerated, if irritation persists or worsens, discontinue use and consult your eye care professional. Ensure you are following proper application techniques to avoid contamination.
