Hycosan Original Preservative Free Eye Drops for Dry Eye Relief

What Are Hycosan Original Eye Drops?

Hycosan Original dry eye drops contain sodium hyaluronate, a naturally occurring substance that helps maintain moisture on the surface of your eyes. These artificial tears are formulated without preservatives, making them suitable for frequent use and sensitive eyes. The drops work by forming a protective film over your eye surface, helping to reduce dryness and irritation.

You can use these drops alongside contact lenses, as the preservative-free formula reduces the risk of irritation that can occur with preserved eye drops. The sodium hyaluronate in Hycosan Original has moisturising properties that help restore the natural tear film on your eye surface.

How Do Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drops Work?

Sodium hyaluronate is a substance naturally found in your body, including in the fluid that surrounds your eyes. When applied as eye drops, it binds with water molecules to create a lubricating layer on your eye surface. This helps replace missing tears and provides longer-lasting moisture compared to some other artificial tear formulations.

The molecular structure of sodium hyaluronate allows it to retain water effectively, which means the preservative free eye drops can provide sustained relief from dry eye symptoms. This makes them particularly useful for people who experience chronic dry eyes or those who spend long periods in air-conditioned environments.

Who Can Benefit from Hycosan Eye Drops?

These drops are suitable for adults and children who experience dry, irritated, or tired eyes. You might find them helpful if you work at a computer for extended periods, spend time in dry or dusty environments, or wear contact lenses regularly. The preservative-free formulation makes them appropriate for people with sensitive eyes who may react to preserved eye drops.

People with certain medical conditions that affect tear production may also benefit from using these drops. However, if you have persistent eye problems, you should consult with an eye care professional to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. For comprehensive eye care solutions, speak to your pharmacist about which products might be most suitable for your needs.

Storage and Handling Information

Store your Hycosan Original drops at room temperature and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Once opened, the drops should be used within three months. The preservative-free formulation means the product has a shorter shelf life once opened compared to preserved eye drops, but this also reduces the risk of irritation from chemical preservatives.

Keep the dropper tip clean and avoid touching it with your fingers or allowing it to come into contact with your eye or eyelid. This helps prevent contamination of the remaining drops in the bottle.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

How to Apply Hycosan Original Eye Drops

Wash your hands thoroughly before using the drops. Tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the bottle above your eye and squeeze gently to release one drop into the pocket formed by your lower eyelid. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or eyelid.

After applying the drop, close your eye gently and blink a few times to help distribute the solution across your eye surface. If you need to apply drops to both eyes, repeat the process for your other eye. You can use these drops as often as needed throughout the day.

Usage Guidelines and Frequency

You can typically use one to two drops in each affected eye as needed. There is no maximum daily limit for these preservative-free drops, so you can apply them whenever your eyes feel dry or uncomfortable. If you wear contact lenses, you can apply the drops while wearing your lenses or remove them first, depending on your preference.

If your symptoms persist or worsen after several days of use, consult your pharmacist or doctor. Some people may need to use the drops more frequently initially, then reduce usage as their symptoms improve.

Potential Side Effects of Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drops

Like all medicines, Hycosan Original Preservative Free Dry Eye Drops can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most people tolerate these drops well due to their preservative-free formulation and the fact that sodium hyaluronate occurs naturally in the body. If you do experience any adverse reactions, they are typically mild and temporary. For additional support with eye-related conditions, explore our range of allergy and hay fever treatments that may help address underlying causes of eye irritation.

The most commonly reported side effects include temporary blurred vision immediately after application and mild eye irritation. These effects usually resolve quickly as the drops settle on your eye surface.

Eye redness or irritation

Feeling of something in the eye

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
