Indications

HYLO DUAL eye drop moisturizes the cornea and conjunctiva and protects against excessive evaporation of tears. This steadier tear film relieves the inflammatory symptoms of irritated eyes. It also relieves the itching and burning sensations linked to allergy. HYLO DUAL is indicated for the treatment of dry eye disease. Burning, itching, tearing, a foreign body sensation or a feeling of dry eyes are all symptoms of an irritated eye. Quite often this comes from insufficient lubrication of the eye surface. Other symptoms can be triggered by hypersensitivity to certain substances (for example pollen, animal hair or house dust), which are called allergies. Because an allergy shows similar symptoms, it is difficult to tell a dry eye from an allergic eye. In these cases, the dual mode of action of sodium hyaluronate and ectoine in HYLO DUAL helps relieve these symptoms.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

HYLO DUAL contains sodium hyaluronate, a substance the body makes naturally. It is found in the eye and also in other tissues. Sodium hyaluronate spreads evenly over the surface of the eye and gives stable, long lasting lubrication, so it isn't rinsed away quickly.

The other ingredient is ectoine, a natural substance taken from microorganisms that live in extreme environments (e. g. salt lakes). These microorganisms make ectoine to protect themselves against those harsh conditions, and its specific properties are used in HYLO DUAL. Ectoine increases the binding of water at the cells of the ocular surface. This forms a physiologic barrier on the conjunctiva against substances that act as allergens. Ectoine also stabilizes the lipid layer of the tear film, which protects against excessive evaporation of tears.

Together, sodium hyaluronate and ectoine give intensive, long lasting lubrication of the ocular surface and protect against evaporation of tears. The typical symptoms of itching and burning, which occur as inflammatory reactions to irritations triggered by the environment and to allergic reactions, are relieved by HYLO DUAL.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Generally, adults and children 6 years and older put one drop of HYLO DUAL into the conjunctival sac of each eye, three times a day. If you use HYLO DUAL more often (for example, more than 10 times per day) or your complaints are more severe, you should see an ophthalmologist at regular intervals. HYLO DUAL can be used while wearing contact lenses. After you insert your lenses, wait about 30 minutes before putting in the eye drops. This avoids intolerance reactions, which may occur because lens care products can interact with HYLO DUAL. Based on the available evidence, HYLO DUAL may be used in children 6 years and older, and in pregnant and breast-feeding women. Don't use HYLO DUAL if you are hypersensitive to any of its ingredients, or in children younger than 6 years.
