For individuals experiencing severe, persistent dry eye symptoms or requiring intensive lubrication after ocular surgical procedures, Hycosan EXTRA Eye Drops offer a therapeutic, long-lasting solution. Formulated with a higher concentration of sodium hyaluronate, it provides enhanced viscosity and a stable lubricating film on the eye surface. While highly effective for severe conditions, its intensive nature means it's specifically tailored for more demanding lubrication needs rather than very mild, occasional dryness.
Intensive Therapeutic Lubrication: Contains a higher concentration of 2 mg/ml sodium hyaluronate, providing more viscous and intensive moisture for severe and persistent dry eye.
Preservative-Free Formula: Ensures high tolerability and makes it suitable for long-term and regular use without the irritation often associated with preservatives.
Phosphate-Free Composition: Prevents potential complications like the formation of insoluble deposits in the cornea, which can occur with phosphate-containing eye drops.
Bioadhesive Property: Forms a stable, long-lasting, and lubricating film on the eye surface that is not easily rinsed off, ensuring continuous protection.
Supports Ocular Healing: Aids in the regeneration of eye tissues by supplying increased moisture to the cornea and conjunctiva, particularly beneficial after eye injuries or surgical interventions.
Long-Lasting Relief: Designed to provide sustained comfort and protection, relieving persistent symptoms of dryness, itching, and irritation.
Highly Effective for Severe Dry Eye: Specifically formulated for intensive lubrication, offering significant relief for chronic or severe cases.
Preservative-Free: Reduces the risk of irritation and allows for safe, regular, and long-term use.
Phosphate-Free: Eliminates the risk of corneal deposits, enhancing safety for ocular health.
Bioadhesive Action: Provides a stable, long-lasting lubricating film that resists washing away, ensuring prolonged comfort.
Aids Post-Surgical Recovery: Supports natural wound healing processes by maintaining optimal ocular surface moisture.
Well-Tolerated: Generally very well tolerated due to its gentle, natural composition.
Targeted for Severe Cases: Its high viscosity and intensive nature may be more than necessary for individuals with only mild or occasional dry eye, potentially feeling heavier than lighter formulations.

Hycosan EXTRA Eye Drops are engineered to provide superior, therapeutic lubrication, especially for challenging ocular conditions. The product's core efficacy lies in its higher concentration of sodium hyaluronate, a natural substance renowned for its water-binding capabilities. This increased concentration leads to a more viscous solution, creating a thicker, more resilient lubricating film on the eye.
In real-world applications, this translates to:
Intensive Relief for Chronic Dryness: Users with persistent burning, grittiness, or foreign body sensation often find profound and lasting relief, as the robust film protects the ocular surface more effectively than standard drops.
Protection Against Environmental Stressors: The stable lubricating layer helps to shield the eyes from irritants like wind, dust, and prolonged screen time, which can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
Support During Healing: Following ophthalmic surgeries (e.g., LASIK, cataract surgery) or eye injuries, maintaining a continuously moist environment is crucial for tissue regeneration. Hycosan EXTRA facilitates this by providing a consistent, soothing layer that aids the physiological healing process.
Improved Comfort with Blinking: The bioadhesive properties ensure that the eyelids glide smoothly over the corneal surface with each blink, reducing friction and discomfort. This is particularly beneficial for those whose tear film is compromised.
By forming a regular, stable, and long-lasting film, Hycosan EXTRA ensures that the cornea and conjunctiva remain well-hydrated and protected, significantly improving comfort and supporting ocular health in demanding situations.
Prepare: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the eye drops to ensure hygiene.
Position: Tilt your head back gently.
Create a Pocket: With one hand, gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket between your eye and the eyelid.
Administer Drops: Hold the bottle over your eye and squeeze the advised number of drops into the pocket. Be careful to avoid direct contact between the dropper tip and your eye or eyelid to prevent contamination.
Distribute: Blink gently several times to help spread the solution evenly across the surface of your eye.
Secure: Replace the cap securely on the bottle immediately after each use.
Preservative-Free: Hycosan EXTRA is free of preservatives, making it generally very well tolerated and suitable for individuals with sensitive eyes or those who experience irritation from preservative-containing drops. It is safe for regular use.
Phosphate-Free: This formulation avoids the risks associated with phosphate-containing drops, such as corneal deposits.
Contact Lenses: > Info needed: While many preservative-free eye drops are compatible with contact lenses, please consult your eye care professional or refer to the product packaging for specific guidance regarding contact lens use with Hycosan EXTRA.
Storage: Store the eye drops according to the instructions on the packaging, typically at room temperature.
Hygiene: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent contamination. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye, finger, or other objects.
Disposal: Do not use the drops beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging. Discard any remaining solution after the recommended period of use after opening (usually 6 months, but confirm packaging).
