When to use Hilocomod drops?

If you experience symptoms such as itching, burning, blurred vision or the sensation of foreign particles in the eye, you can use Hilocomod. It is also helpful for dry eye symptoms after eye surgery.

Hilocomod method of action

If the eyes itch, burn or tire easily, if it feels like there is sand, this may be due to a lack of moisture on the surface of the eyes. Spending longer in an air-conditioned room, for example, or after intensive computer work, the natural tear line that normally covers the surface of the eye breaks down faster. For the eye tissue to function fully, it needs to be continuously lubricated by the tear strip.

Due to surgical interventions in the eye or after injuries to the eye, there is a physiological reduction of the tears and an impairment of their effectiveness. However, for the regeneration of the superficial tissues of the eye, continuous and sufficient lubrication is necessary. The Hilocomod instillation provides long-lasting moisture to the cornea and conjunctiva so that the physiological healing process is effectively supported.

Hylocomod contains the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the eye but also in other parts of the body. Due to its special physical feature, it creates a permanent and stable structure. A streak of tears and grease over time on the surface of the eye that is not easily washed off. However, it does not cause blurred vision and protects the eyes from dryness and irritation over time. This is especially important if the patient wears contact lenses, as the contact lens needs to be swimming in a sufficient amount of tear fluid to not cause discomfort. Hilocomod can be used while fitting contact lenses. Wearing soft or hard contact lenses will become more comfortable by using Hilocomod because it does not form a film or precipitate.

Because Hilocomod is preservative-free, it is generally well tolerated. In addition, Hilocomod is free of phosphates so that complications such as deposits in the cornea are avoided.
