Description
Sterile, preservative-free solution for ophthalmic use. Hylo Dual moisturizes the cornea and conjunctiva and protects against excessive tear evaporation. This stabilization of the tear film soothes eye irritation associated with inflammatory symptoms or caused by allergies and eliminates burning and itching sensations in the eyes.
Burning and itching eyes, tearing, a foreign body sensation in the eyes, or dryness are symptoms of an irritated eye. Often these signs indicate that the eye is not sufficiently moisturized. Another cause could be hypersensitivity to certain substances (such as pollen, animal dander, or house dust), i.e., so-called allergies. Since allergies present with the same symptoms, it is difficult to distinguish between a dry eye and an eye irritated due to an allergy. In these cases, Hylo Dual offers particular advantages due to its dual mechanism of action from sodium hyaluronate and ectoine. Hylo Dual contains sodium hyaluronate, a natural substance found in the eye and other parts of the body. Sodium hyaluronate has the unique physical property of forming a uniform, stable, and long-lasting moisturizing film on the eye's surface that is not quickly eliminated. Ectoine is a natural substance extracted from microorganisms that live in extreme environments (such as salt lakes). To protect themselves from extreme environmental factors, these microorganisms produce ectoine, a natural substance whose special properties are used in Hylo Dual. Ectoine increases the adherence of water to the cells of the ocular surface, thus creating a physiological barrier for allergens on the conjunctiva. At the same time, ectoine stabilizes the lipid-soluble portion of the tear film, which protects against excessive tear evaporation. Thanks to the interaction between sodium hyaluronate and ectoine, a dense, long-lasting moisture film is created on the eye, which protects it from tear evaporation. In this way, Hylo Dual alleviates inflammatory symptoms and the typical symptoms of allergic reactions, such as burning and itching caused by environmental irritations.

Composition
1 ml of Hylo Dual contains 0.5 mg of sodium hyaluronate, 20 mg of ectoine, boric acid, borax, and water for injections.
Use Hylo Dual only if the outer packaging is sealed and intact before use.
1) Remove the cap before use. To remove the cap, hold it firmly with one hand and rotate the bottle downwards with the other hand. Before the first application of Hylo Dual, invert the bottle with the dropper facing down and press the bottom of the bottle to release the first drop from the dropper. The bottle is now ready for subsequent applications.
2) Keep the bottle inverted, placing your thumb on the top of the bottle and your other fingers on the bottom of the bottle.
3) Support the hand holding the COMOD bottle with your free hand.
4) Tilt your head slightly backward, gently pull your lower eyelid down with your free hand, and quickly and firmly press the bottom of the bottle. This activates the mechanism for releasing a drop. Thanks to the special valve mechanism of the COMOD system, the size and speed of a drop's release are always the same, regardless of the pressure applied. Slowly close your eyes to allow the fluid to spread evenly over the ocular surface.
5) After use, immediately close the bottle with the cap, ensuring that there is no residual liquid on the dropper. During instillation, avoid any contact between the dropper of the bottle and the eye or facial skin. The COMOD system dispenses 10 ml of solution, equivalent to approximately 300 drops. For technical reasons, a small amount of solution always remains in the bottle at the end of use. There is no limited duration of use for Hylo Dual. It is advisable that the Hylo Dual bottle be used for the treatment of only one person.
If you use any other eye drops, wait at least 30 minutes between applications and always use Hylo Dual last. Ophthalmic ointments, however, should always be applied after Hylo Dual. Since Hylo Dual eye drops do not contain preservatives, long-term treatment is particularly well tolerated. In very rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions (burning, excessive tearing) have been observed, which, however, disappear immediately upon discontinuation of Hylo Dual. Hylo Dual can also be used while wearing contact lenses. After applying contact lenses, we recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes before applying eye drops to avoid possible intolerance reactions that could be caused by interactions between contact lens cleaning solutions and Hylo Dual. Currently, no information is available regarding the use of the product during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Hylo Dual.
Hylo Dual should be administered according to your ophthalmologist's recommendations. Generally, for adults and children aged 6 years and older, 1 drop of Hylo Dual is instilled 3 times a day into the conjunctival sac of each eye. If Hylo Dual is to be used more frequently (e.g., more than 10 times a day) and in cases of more severe discomfort, an ophthalmologist should be consulted for regular eye examinations. Hylo Dual is suitable for long-term use; however, as with any other condition, if symptoms persist (e.g., for more than two weeks), it is strongly recommended to consult an ophthalmologist.
