Opthocare Hylo is a lubricating eye drop containing Sodium Hyaluronate, providing longer-lasting moisture and comfort for dogs and cats with dry eye or general ocular irritation.
Composition: Sodium Hyaluronate, a natural lubricating and moisture-retaining polymer, in a sterile aqueous base.
Indications: Dry eye (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca); general eye dryness, irritation, and discomfort; supportive lubrication before or after other eye treatments.
Dosage: As recommended by the vet - typically a few drops in the affected eye(s), multiple times daily.
Directions for Use: Gently pull down the lower eyelid and instil the drops into the conjunctival sac, avoiding contact between the dropper tip and the eye.
How does the medicine work?: Sodium Hyaluronate binds water molecules on the ocular surface, forming a moisture-retentive film that lubricates the eye for longer than simpler artificial tears.
Possible side effects: Generally very well tolerated with minimal risk of irritation, making it suitable for frequent, long-term use in chronic dry eye.
