The eyes produce too little lachrymal fluid or the tears have a wrong composition. Those are the two criteria according to which an ophthalmologist diagnoses a dry eye. Depending on the severity of the disorder, dry eyes can amount to considerable impairment of quality of life. The disease is accompanied by symptoms such as strong reddening of the eyes and permanent painful foreign body sensation which represent an extreme burden for the affected.

High viscosity improves the quality of life

Eye drops for the treatment of grave and chronic dry eyes have to guarantee intensive and constant moistening of the ocular surface. Only high-viscosity eye drops, which stay considerably longer on the ocular surface, lead to a constant moistening effect. The active agent hyaluronic acid, contained in HYLO®-GEL, is perfectly suited for this task. Due to its special characteristics and the extraordinarily high quality of the hyaluronic acid contained in HYLO®-GEL, a concentration of 0,2% is already sufficient to achieve a significantly higher viscosity of the solution. The most important point is that although HYLO®-GEL has an almost gel-like consistency, it does not cause any impairment of vision.

Preservative-free and phosphate-free in the patented COMOD®-system

Preservatives, which are supposed to keep the eye drops free of germs during storage and application, damage the cells of the ocular surface. These substances destroy the natural tear film and they can also be the cause of intolerance reactions. Therefore, modern tear substitute preparations are entirely free of preservatives. In HYLO®-GEL the patented COMOD® multiple dose system prevents a contamination of the solution by microorganisms.
Apart from preservatives, eye drops often contain phosphates which can exert detrimental influence. Due to the reaction with calcium, which is released from the cells of the irritated cornea, practically insoluble crystals can be created which deteriorate vision. Therefore, eye drops that are used for the treatment of dry and irritated eyes should not contain any phosphate. HYLO®-GEL is entirely free from phosphates and thus excludes the risk of crystal formation.
