Description
Sterile, preservative-free solution for ophthalmic use. Hylo Dual hydrates the cornea and conjunctiva and protects against excessive tear evaporation. This stabilization of the tear film soothes eye irritation associated with inflammatory symptoms or allergies and eliminates burning and itching.
Burning and itching, watery eyes, a foreign body sensation, or dryness are symptoms of an irritated eye. These signs often indicate that the eye is not adequately hydrated. Another cause could be hypersensitivity to certain substances (such as pollen, animal hair, or house dust), also known as allergies. Since allergies present with the same symptoms, it is difficult to distinguish between a dry eye and an irritated eye caused by an allergy. In these cases, Hylo Dual offers particular advantages thanks to its dual mechanism of action based on sodium hyaluronate and ectoine. Hylo Dual contains sodium hyaluronate, a natural substance found in the eye and other parts of the body. Sodium hyaluronate has the unique physical property of forming a uniform, stable, and long-lasting moisturizing film on the surface of the eye that is not quickly removed. Ectoin is a natural substance extracted from microorganisms that live in extreme environments (such as salt lakes). To protect themselves from extreme environmental factors, these microorganisms produce ectoin, a natural substance whose special properties are utilized in Hylo Dual. Ectoin increases the adhesion of water to the cells of the ocular surface, thus creating a physiological barrier to allergens on the conjunctiva. At the same time, ectoin stabilizes the fat-soluble portion of the tear film, which protects against excessive tear evaporation. The interaction between sodium hyaluronate and ectoin creates a dense, long-lasting film of moisture on the eye, protecting it from tear evaporation. In this way, Hylo Dual relieves inflammatory symptoms and typical symptoms of allergic reactions, such as burning and itching caused by environmental irritations.

Composition
1 ml of Hylo Dual contains 0.5 mg sodium hyaluronate, 20 mg ectoine, boric acid, borax and water for injections.
Use Hylo Dual only if the outer packaging is sealed and intact before use.
1) Remove the cap before use. To remove the cap, hold it firmly with one hand and twist the bottle downward with the other. Before using Hylo Dual for the first time, turn the bottle upside down with the dropper facing down and press the bottom of the bottle to release the first drop. The bottle is now ready for subsequent applications.
2) Hold the bottle upside down by placing your thumb on the top of the bottle and your other fingers on the bottom of the bottle.
3) Support the hand holding the bottle made with the COMOD technique with your free hand.
4) Tilt your head back slightly, gently pull your lower eyelid down with your free hand, and quickly and firmly press the bottom of the bottle. This activates the drop release mechanism. Thanks to the COMOD system's special valve mechanism, the size and speed of each drop are always the same, regardless of the pressure applied. Close your eyes slowly to allow the fluid to spread evenly across the ocular surface.
5) After use, immediately replace the cap on the bottle, ensuring there is no liquid residue on the dropper. During instillation, avoid contact between the bottle's dropper and the eye or facial skin. The COMOD system releases 10 ml of solution, equivalent to approximately 300 drops. For technical reasons, a small amount of solution always remains in the bottle after use. Hylo Dual has no limited shelf life. It is recommended that the Hylo Dual bottle be used for the treatment of a single person only.
If using any other eye drops, wait at least 30 minutes between applications and always use Hylo Dual last. Eye ointments, however, should always be applied after Hylo Dual. Since Hylo Dual eye drops contain no preservatives, long-term treatment is particularly well tolerated. Hypersensitivity reactions (burning, excessive tearing) have been observed in very rare cases, but these disappear immediately upon discontinuation of Hylo Dual. Hylo Dual can also be used while wearing contact lenses. After applying contact lenses, we recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes before applying eye drops to avoid possible intolerance reactions that could be caused by interactions between contact lens cleaners and Hylo Dual. Currently, no information is available regarding the use of the product during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Hylo Dual.
Hylo Dual should be administered according to the recommendations of your ophthalmologist. In general, for adults and children aged 6 years and older, instill one drop of Hylo Dual three times a day into the conjunctival sac of each eye. If you use Hylo Dual more frequently (e.g., more than 10 times a day) or if you experience more severe symptoms, you should consult an ophthalmologist to have your eyes examined regularly. Hylo Dual is suitable for long-term use; however, as with any condition, if symptoms persist (e.g., for more than two weeks), consulting an ophthalmologist is strongly recommended.
