Long-lasting relief for fewer daily applications
HYLO® eye drops contain high-molecular-weight Sodium Hyaluronate, which is highly viscous by nature.
The viscosity of an eye drop is important because the higher the viscosity, the longer it stays on the ocular surface - This means long-lasting relief and fewer daily applications.
Contact lens compatible
For some people, wearing contact lenses can become uncomfortable, specially when wearing them for a longer period of time.
Using HYLO® while wearing contact lenses may help minimize dryness and improve your overall experience.
HYLO®, a suitable choice for contact lens wearers
Contact lenses offer certain benefits over glasses. They don’t fog up in winter, don’t get in your way when you play sports, provide more natural vision – the list goes on. But over time, contact lenses may irritate the eyes and cause dryness.
But why are contact lenses causing dry eyes? Are there any ways to relieve dryness when wearing contact lenses?
Contact lenses and dry eyes
Dry eyes is a progressive condition caused by multiple factors, [1] and sadly, it is an unfortunate price in return for the convenience of wearing contacts. Approximately 50% of all contact lens wearers experience dry eye sensation, with 25% to 30% of all wearers discontinuing lens wear temporarily or permanently. [2] This is due to contact lenses blocking oxygen flow to the eyes and absorbing tear on the eye surface, leading to dry eyes.
Fortunately, dry eye sensation can be relieved using lubricating eye drops. But, not all lubricating eye drops are the same. Let’s take a closer look at how you can choose a suitable lubricating eye drop for your eyes and contact lenses.
Choosing a Suitable Lubricating Eye Drop for Contact Lens Wearers
Preservatives are a common ingredient in lubricating eye drops that help to maintain the sterility of drops. But preservatives can irritate the eyes and eventually cause more severe dry eye sensation, [3,4] and modern lubricating eye drops are now often preservative free.
Secondly, the type and quality of lubricants in the eye drops also greatly affect the lubricating effects and duration. Modern lubricating eye drops tend to contain sodium hyaluronate, a natural lubricant found in our eyes and joints.
Therefore, lubricating eye drops for rewetting of contact lenses and dry eye relief must be preservative free with high-functioning lubricants. Curious where you can find such lubricating eye drops?
HYLO Family for Relief of Contact Lens-Associated Dry Eyes
HYLO®, HYLO®-Dual, and HYLO® Gel can be used while wearing hard and soft contact lenses. HYLO® family of lubricating eye drops relieve dry eyes in individuals wearing:
-
Hydrogel lenses
-

Read the step-by-step instructions
Learn how to use the world's first preservative free, multi-dose container developed by German scientists.
Follow these very simple steps
Step 1
Remove the over-cap and turn the bottle over so the dropper tip points down.
Step 2
Prime the system before first use: Place two fingers on the base and your thumb on the shoulder of the bottle. Press firmly on the base and release. Repeat this several times until the first drop is released. Now the bottle is primed and ready to use.
Step 3
Application: For better control and accuracy, make a base with one hand to support the hand holding the bottle.
Step 4
Lean your head back slightly and gently pull down your lower eyelid.
Press FIRMLY and QUICKLY on the base of the bottle. This enables the bottle to release one single drop into the eye.
Release and repeat for the other eye. After each application close your eye slowly to allow the fluid to spread evenly over the eye surface.
Step 5
Ensure that the dropper tip is dry. Replace the over-cap. Avoid any contact between the tip of the bottle and your eye or your skin.
Why is HYLO so unique?
Top German technology
The world's first preservative-free, multi-dose container
6-month sterility
Microorganisms cannot enter the container, preventing contamination
HYLO® features a sophisticated airless system, which prevents contaminated air from coming into contact with the liquid in the bottle.
This technology guarantees that HYLO® is kept sterile during storage and for 6 months after the first use.
300 sterile doses, precisely dosed
Have you ever squeezed an eye drop bottle, and several drops come out at once? This won’t happen with HYLO®.
The HYLO® application system is a pump designed to deliver guaranteed 300 sterile drops - one drop at a time - and calibrates each drop of solution to the same size.
For technical reasons, a small amount will remain in the bottle at exhaustion.
One drop at a time
Less is more: A sterile technology like HYLO®’s means that only the necessary ingredients are used. HYLO® contains only high-quality sodium hyaluronate, a citrate buffer, sorbitol and water.
On the safe side: HYLO® eye drops are preservative free and phosphate free, which helps avoid unwanted complications such as intolerance or deposits in the cornea.
Preservative Free
Preservatives can damage the cells of the eye surface, destroy the natural tear film and be the cause of intolerance reactions.
Phosphate Free
Phosphates buffers can form insoluble crystals due to the reaction with calcium (which is released from damaged cells of the eye surface). These crystals can impair your vision.
