Description
Sterile preservative-free solution for ophthalmic use.
It is an eye drop indicated for the therapeutic lubrication of the ocular surface in the presence of an intense and persistent sensation of dryness of the eye, also in pre- and post-operative treatment.
HYLO GEL contains the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in many organs of the human body, including the eye. Its unique characteristic is the formation of a homogeneous, stable, and long-lasting lubricating and wetting film on the ocular surface that is difficult to remove. Thanks to this so-called bioadhesive property, HYLO GEL protects the cornea and conjunctiva and, together with natural tears, allows the eyelid to glide smoothly over the ocular surface. HYLO GEL contains a high amount of sodium hyaluronate, which increases its viscosity, thus providing the eye with a moisturizing and soothing film with an intensive and long-lasting effect.
HYLO GEL relieves persistent or particularly intense symptoms and protects the eye from further irritation.
Physiological tear secretion can be reduced following surgery, eye injuries, medication, etc. Continuous moistening of the ocular surface is essential for tissue regeneration. The application of HYLO GEL further moistens and lubricates the cornea and conjunctiva, optimizing the wound healing process.
Thanks to the absence of preservatives, HYLO GEL is generally very well tolerated. Furthermore, HYLO GEL is phosphate-free, thus avoiding potential complications due to the formation of insoluble deposits in the cornea.

How to use
Remove the cap before use. To remove the cap, hold it firmly with one hand and twist the bottle downward with the other.
Before the first application, 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.
Hold the bottle upside down with your thumb on the top and your fingers on the bottom. Support the hand holding the bottle with your free hand. Tilt your head back slightly and press quickly and firmly on the bottom of the bottle. This activates the mechanism that releases a drop. Thanks to the COMOD System's special valve mechanism, the size and speed of a drop are always the same, regardless of the pressure applied.
Close your eyes slowly to allow the fluid to spread over the surface of the eye.
Close the bottle with the cap immediately after use.
Make sure the dropper tip is dry.
When applying the liquid, avoid any contact between the tip of the bottle and the eye or 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 GEL is indicated for long-term treatment.
The HYLO GEL bottle must always be used by the same person.

Use HYLO GEL at your own discretion and/or as directed by your eye doctor. Generally, one drop of HYLO GEL is instilled in each eye three times a day. More frequent use is permitted if necessary. In this case (e.g., more than 10 times a day), consult your eye doctor.
HYLO GEL is indicated for long-term treatment. As with any ailment, it is advisable to consult an ophthalmologist if symptoms persist.

Components
1 ml HYLO GEL contains 2 mg sodium hyaluronate, anhydrous citric acid, sodium citrate, sorbitol and water for injections.

Warnings
If using any other eye drops, wait at least 30 minutes before applying HYLO GEL, which should always be used last. Eye ointments, on the other hand, should always be applied after instilling HYLO GEL.
Being preservative-free, HYLO GEL is well tolerated even with prolonged use. In very rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions, such as burning or excessive tearing, have been reported, which resolve immediately after discontinuing use of HYLO GEL.
HYLO GEL relieves symptoms of particularly intense and persistent dry eyes. If your eye doctor has no objections to wearing contact lenses despite the dryness, HYLO GEL can be used while wearing contact lenses. However, some smudging may appear on the contact lenses, which disappears after blinking a few times.
Due to the viscosity of the preparation, the application of HYLO GEL may be followed by temporary blurred vision.
To avoid possible incompatibility reactions due to possible interactions between contact lens care products and HYLO GEL, we recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes after inserting contact lenses before instilling the eye drops.
HYLO GEL can be used in pediatric age, during pregnancy and during breastfeeding.
Do not use HYLO GEL in case of hypersensitivity to one of the components.
Keep out of reach of children.
Use HYLO Gel only if the outer packaging is sealed and intact before first use.
