Hycosan Original Eye Drops | 7.5ml

Description

 

When to Use Hycosan Original

Hycosan Original is ideal for individuals experiencing moderate dry eye symptoms, including dryness, irritation, or discomfort caused by screen use, contact lens wear, or environmental factors. It provides gentle, effective hydration throughout the day.

 

How It Works

Each drop contains 0.1% Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), a naturally occurring substance in the eye that helps stabilise and restore the tear film. This enhances moisture retention on the eye’s surface, relieving dryness and promoting comfort. The patented COMOD® system delivers a consistent dose without preservatives, reducing the risk of irritation.

 

Who Is It Suitable For?

Hycosan Original is suitable for adults and children aged 6 years and over. It can be used by contact lens wearers and is safe for regular, long-term use.
