Hycosan Night is a sterile, preservative-free eye ointment designed for individuals experiencing burning, tired, dry, or itching eyes, particularly due to environmental factors, medication side effects, or prolonged screen use. Its key benefit is providing lasting relief, improving the tear film, and ensuring comfortable eye opening in the morning. A crucial caveat is its thick consistency, which causes temporary vision impairment, making it ideal for application right before sleep.

Hycosan Night is specifically formulated to provide intense, overnight relief for various dry eye symptoms. Its effectiveness stems from its unique composition, featuring retinol palmitate (vitamin A), which is a natural component of the tear film. This allows the ointment to integrate seamlessly, improving the natural tear film while also providing nutritional support for the ocular surface.
When applied, the ointment's soft and smooth consistency allows it to spread easily across the eye, forming a comfortable, long-lasting protective film. This film acts as a barrier, shielding the eye from environmental irritants and preventing moisture loss during sleep. Users will find significant relief from symptoms like burning, itching, dryness, and the sensation of a foreign body in the eye, which are often exacerbated by factors such as:
Dry or air-conditioned environments
Side effects of certain medications
Aging
Cigarette smoke exposure
Driving at night
Prolonged periods working with visual display units (VDU’s)
The primary real-world application is its use just before going to bed. This timing is crucial because the ointment's thick consistency will cause a slight, temporary impairment of vision. By applying it at night, users benefit from continuous lubrication and protection while they sleep, waking up with less irritation and preventing any difficulty in opening their eyes in the morning. For instance, individuals who typically experience gritty, dry eyes immediately upon waking will notice a substantial improvement, allowing for a more comfortable start to their day.
Wash Hands: Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling the eye ointment.
Prepare: Remove the cap. For first-time use, you may need to squeeze the tube gently until a small amount of ointment appears at the tip.
Apply: Tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down your lower eyelid with one finger to form a pocket. Apply a small ribbon of ointment (approximately 0.5 cm or about 1/4 inch) into this pocket by gently squeezing the tube. Avoid touching your eye or eyelid with the tip of the tube.
Close Eyes: Gently close your eyes for a few moments to allow the ointment to spread over the eye surface.
Clean Up: Replace the cap immediately after use. If excess ointment is on your eyelids or lashes, you can gently wipe it away with a clean tissue.
Timing: Due to the temporary vision impairment, Hycosan Night is recommended to be applied only before going to bed.
Preservative-Free: Hycosan Night is free from preservatives, making it generally well-tolerated, especially by individuals with sensitive eyes or those prone to reactions from preservatives.
With Other Eye Drops: If you are using other eye drops, apply them at least 30 minutes before Hycosan Night. Always apply eye ointments last.
Storage: Store the tube at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it out of reach of children.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, do not touch the tip of the tube to any surface, including your eye or fingers. Close the cap tightly after each use.
Expiration: Do not use the ointment after the expiry date printed on the tube and carton. Typically, a tube should be discarded a certain period after opening (e.g., 6 months), but always refer to the specific instructions on the packaging for precise guidance. > Info needed: [Shelf life after opening]
