Description
Sterile ophthalmic ointment for ophthalmic use.
HYLO NIGHT protects the ocular surface and stabilises 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 component 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 eye fatigue. Finally, it facilitates the sliding of the eyelids over the corneal and conjunctival surface.

Components
1 g HYLO NIGHT contains 250 I.U. of retinol palmitate (vitamin A), paraffin, light liquid paraffin, lanolin and white petrolatum.

How to use
Use in air-conditioned environments, for example in a car or on an aeroplane, in the presence of wind, cold, intense solar radiation; stale air or cigarette smoke also often cause dry or itchy eyes with a related sensation of dryness or foreign body. These symptoms can also be caused by excessive visual strain, for example when working too many hours at the computer, when watching television or when driving at night. The risk of these eye disorders is even higher if you wear contact lenses. HYLO NIGHT relieves these symptoms by creating an adequate and lasting protective eye film. The oily consistency of the ointment causes a slight and transient 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 opening the eyes for the first time upon waking.
Ophthalmic ointments should be used avoiding contact of the dispenser tip with the eye or skin.
Use HYLO NIGHT only if the carton seal was intact before first use.
Unscrew the cap covering the dispenser tip.
1) Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid of your eye with the finger of one hand.
2) With the other hand, hold the tube vertically above the eye. Spread a strip of ointment into the conjunctival sac by exerting slight pressure on the tube.
3) Close your eyelids gently then blink normally.
Replace the cap on the tube.
To avoid contamination, avoid contact of the dispenser tip with the eye or any other surface.
The frequency of use depends on your habits and personal 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 dry eye sensation, HYLO NIGHT is generally applied three times a day in each eye. For more frequent use of HYLO NIGHT, consult your ophthalmologist. No treatment duration limits are foreseen.

Warnings
The use of 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 the application of other medicinal products in the eye. To dispense the ointment, exert slight pressure on the tube without bending or rolling it. Based on the latest data, HYLO NIGHT can also be used in children, pregnant women or during breastfeeding. Use one HYLO NIGHT package for each individual. In very rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions such as redness, burning, itchy eyes or excessive tearing have been reported, which improved immediately after discontinuing treatment with HYLO NIGHT.
HYLO NIGHT should not be used in case of known individual hypersensitivity to any of the product 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.
