Vitamin A-based ophthalmic ointment, preservative-free.
Indications
Hylo Night protects the ocular surface and stabilizes the tear film. Hylo Night is an ophthalmic ointment that, thanks to its particular composition, is easily applied to the ocular surface. The vitamin A it contains is a natural constituent of the tear film, which promotes good tolerability of the ophthalmic ointment and ensures complete mixing with tears. It relieves the sensation of burning, dryness or tired eyes. Finally, it facilitates the sliding of the eyelids over the corneal and conjunctival surfaces.
Components
1 g Hylo Night contains 250 IU. of retinol palmitate (vitamin A), paraffin, light liquid paraffin, lanolin, and white petrolatum.
How to use
Use in air-conditioned environments, such as in cars or airplanes, in the presence of wind, cold, or intense sunlight. Even stale air or cigarette smoke often cause dry or itchy eyes with a relative sensation of dryness or a foreign body sensation. These symptoms can also be caused by excessive visual stress, such as working for too long at the computer, watching television, or driving at night. The risk of these eye problems is even higher if you wear contact lenses. Hylo Night relieves these symptoms by creating an adequate and long-lasting protective film on the eyes. The oily consistency of the ointment causes a slight and temporary alteration of vision, therefore it is preferable to apply Hylo Night in the evening before going to sleep. Hylo Night can also prevent any discomfort due to the first opening of the eyes upon waking.
Ophthalmic ointments must be used avoiding contact of the dispenser nozzle with the eye or skin.
Use Hylo Night only if the package seal was intact before first use.
Unscrew the cap covering the dispenser nozzle.
- Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid of the eye with the finger of one hand.
- With the other hand, hold the tube vertically above the eye. Spread a strip of ointment into the conjunctival sac by applying light pressure to the tube.
- Close your eyelids gently and then blink normally. Replace the cap on the tube.
To avoid contamination, avoid contact of the dispenser nozzle with the eye or any other surface.
The frequency of use depends on your personal habits and needs. Hylo Night can be used in addition to lubricating eye drops and is applied once a day in the evening before going to sleep. In case of more severe dryness, Hylo Night is generally applied three times a day to each eye. For more frequent use of Hylo Night, consult your eye doctor. There are no limits on the duration of treatment.
Warnings
Using Hylo Night during the day causes a slight alteration of vision due to the greasy consistency of the ointment. In this case, you should therefore avoid driving a car, using machinery, or working without a stable base. Hylo Night should not be used simultaneously with other ophthalmic pharmaceutical products. In these cases, Hylo Night should be used at least 30 minutes after applying other medicinal products to the eye. To dispense the ointment, apply gentle pressure to the tube without bending or rolling it. Based on the latest data, Hylo Night can also be used in children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women. Use one pack of Hylo Night for each individual patient. In very rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions such as redness, burning, itching, or excessive tearing have been reported, which improved immediately after discontinuing treatment with Hylo Night.
Hylo Night should not be used in cases of known individual hypersensitivity to one of the product's components. Hylo Night should not be applied while wearing contact lenses. Hylo Night should not be used immediately after ophthalmic surgery or following acute eye injuries, as there are no clinical studies for this purpose.
