Description
Hypotonic solution for instillation on the ocular surface or contact lenses, particularly in the presence of "dry eye" symptoms.
Thanks to its high content of sodium hyaluronate (0.4%) and the presence of salts such as magnesium and potassium, Oftaial Plus moistens and lubricates the ocular surface and reduces the risk of tear film instability. Furthermore, the peculiarity of Oftaial Plus's composition lies in the presence of taurine, the most physiologically abundant amino acid in the tear fluid and generally in all tissues of the anterior segment of the eye.
Therefore, Oftaial Plus, while having no pharmacological effect, protects the corneal epithelium from possible damage caused by particular conditions that can lead to the onset of so-called "dry eye", such as:
- adverse climatic and environmental conditions such as wind, cold, sun, saltiness, air conditioning, smoke, smog or fine dust
- particular conditions of ophthalmic stress due to the use of contact lenses or prolonged work at video terminals or under a microscope.
The lubricating action is also useful when, in particular physical conditions or following the intake of certain medications, lacrimation is reduced, such as during menopause and during diabetes treatment.
Furthermore, for contact lens wearers, Oftaial Plus allows the lens itself to be lubricated and hydrated to facilitate its application or removal, contributing to a feeling of comfort throughout the day.

Instructions for use
Oftaial Plus should be dosed individually according to your condition and based on the recommendations of your ophthalmologist.
In general, instill 1-2 drops of the solution into the conjunctival sac of each eye as needed, even several times a day.
For use on contact lenses: instill one drop on each lens when applying or removing. Repeat if necessary, even several times a day.

How to apply Oftaial Plus:
- detach a single vial from the strip
- to open the vial, remove the top tab by rotating it, taking care to place it on a clean surface so that it can be reused for subsequent closing of the vial
- instill 1-2 drops of Oftaial Plus into the conjunctival sac of each eye, letting them fall from above
- close the vial by inserting the tab immediately after use.

Avoid direct contact of the tip of the vial with fingers, the eye, contact lenses or any other surface.

In rare cases, slight blurring of vision has been observed upon instillation, which is due to the density of the solution. However, this sensation disappears very quickly.
In some rare cases, intolerance (burning and/or irritation sensation) may occur, which is nevertheless without consequences and does not require a change in treatment. However, it is advisable to contact your ophthalmologist if the symptoms persist.
