Hycosan Night

Hycosan Night should be applied just before going to bed. Its thick consistency causes temporary blurred vision, making it unsuitable for daytime use.

Vitamin A (retinol palmitate) is a physiological component of the tear film. Its inclusion in Hycosan Night aids in ocular healing, improves the tear film's stability, and helps relieve symptoms of dry eyes.

Yes, Hycosan Night is sterile and preservative-free, which makes it generally well-tolerated and suitable for individuals with sensitive eyes or those who react to preservatives.

Ointments are generally not recommended for use while wearing contact lenses due to potential coating and discomfort. It is best to remove your contact lenses before applying Hycosan Night and reinsert them in the morning after you've woken up and the ointment has cleared.

By forming a long-lasting protective film over the eye's surface throughout the night, Hycosan Night prevents excessive moisture evaporation and keeps the eyes lubricated, which in turn helps prevent the common morning discomfort of burning, dryness, or difficulty opening the eyes.

This is a normal and expected effect due to the ointment's thick consistency. Hycosan Night is specifically designed for use before bed, allowing it to work overnight without interfering with daily activities. If blurriness persists into the morning, gently rinse your eyes with a preservative-free saline solution.

If your dry eye symptoms do not improve or seem to worsen after several days of regular use, consult an eye care professional. There might be an underlying condition requiring different treatment.

Applying eye ointment can take some practice. Try sitting in front of a mirror. Gently pull down your lower eyelid and look upwards. Hold the tube over your eye and gently squeeze a small ribbon of ointment into the lower lid pocket. Avoid direct contact of the tube with your eye. If needed, ask someone to assist you or seek advice from your pharmacist.

Though Hycosan Night is preservative-free and generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience sensitivity. If you notice persistent irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor or ophthalmologist.
