Description
Preservative-free ophthalmic ointment containing, in addition to dexpanthenol, also vitamin A and vitamin E.
It is used for the long-term improvement of the tear film and for the intensive protection of the ocular surface. Its cellular protection properties allow normal re-epithelialization when this is compromised by dryness.
Thanks to its high viscosity properties, Kerato VitA ophthalmic ointment coats the surface of the eye like a film, stabilizes the tear film and protects the eye from dryness.
Thanks to its very soft and elastic consistency, Kerato VitA spreads very well on the ocular surface. The eyelids slide easily over the cornea and conjunctiva.
Kerato VitA provides long-lasting relief from the symptoms of dryness, inflammation and mild irritation, in particular:
- for dry eyes;
- in environmental stress;
- in case of fatigue and visual stress caused by prolonged viewing;
- in case of mechanical stress.

How to use
Wash your hands thoroughly each time before using Kerato VitA.
Before first use, break the safety seal by opening the screw cap of the protective cap counterclockwise and remove the safety seal film before use.
Hold the tube as vertically as possible, with the opening pointing down, above the eye. Avoid any contact of the tip of the tube with your fingers and the eye.
Now tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid slightly with your free hand. Press lightly on the tube and apply approximately 0.5 cm of ointment into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye. Close your eyes slowly and move the eyeballs in every direction, so that Kerato VitA can distribute itself evenly over the surface of the eye. After use, close the tube with the protective cap.
Be careful not to touch the tip of the tube. Avoid bending or rolling the tube to avoid damaging it.

Kerato VitA is generally used 3 times daily for long-term improvement of the tear film and intensive protection of the ocular surface.
It is recommended to apply the ointment possibly in the evening before going to bed, so that it can have an intensive and long-lasting effect on irritated eyes. The application should be continued for a period of at least 30 days.
The ophthalmologist should determine the frequency and duration of application. If symptoms persist after this period, contact your ophthalmologist again.
In case of other local eye treatment, consult your eye doctor. In general, about 30 minutes should pass between the two applications. Kerato VitA should be applied after the other products.
