It contains 1 mg sodium hyaluronate and dexpanthenol per ml, along with citric acid anhydrous, sodium citrate, and water for injections. This solution is designed for lubricating and supporting the healing of the eye's surface, particularly after dry eye conditions, injury, or surgical procedures. It helps maintain the cornea and conjunctiva by providing continuous lubrication, which is essential for the regeneration of epithelial cells. The sodium hyaluronate in Hycosan Plus creates an even, long-lasting lubricating film on the eye's surface without causing blurred vision, making it suitable for daytime use. Dexpanthenol, a B vitamin, further enhances the healing environment for the eye's surface, aiding in the faster recovery of minor superficial erosions and surgical wounds. It ensures sufficient lubrication and promotes the regeneration of corneal and conjunctival epithelia.
This guide is for individuals experiencing dry eye or those recovering from eye injuries or surgeries, offering relief and promoting healing. Hycosan Plus provides long-lasting lubrication and supports the regeneration of the eye's surface, making it suitable for daytime use. However, individuals should consult with their eye care professional to ensure it is the right product for their specific needs.
