Hycosan Fresh

Introduction:

HYCOSAN® FRESH is a lubricating eye drop for soothing relief of irritated or red eyes from screen use.

HYCOSAN® FRESH is used for the relief of irritated eyes that can result from environmental stress such as intensive computer-based activity, dry climate, draught, increased solar radiation, air pollution caused by dust or pollen or wearing contact lenses.

HYCOSAN® FRESH contains 0.03% high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for hydration of the ocular surface as well as Euphrasia. The application of the eye drops soothes irritated eyes and eyelids and provides them with a tear-like moistening effect. HYCOSAN® FRESH treats all symptoms caused by dryness of the ocular surface, e.g. due to insufficient physiologic tear production by the body.

HYCOSAN® FRESH is a sterile solution that is preservative free and phosphate free.

Composition:

1 ml HYCOSAN® FRESH contains 0.03 % hyaluronic Acid, Euphrasia-original mother tincture, boric acid/borax (act as a buffer to maintain pH) and water for injections.

• Mild dry eye

How it works:

HYCOSAN® FRESH contains high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and Eurphrasia.

The high molecular weight hyaluronic acid increases the viscosity of the drop. It therefore remains longer on the ocular surface.

• Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance found in many organs of the human body
• Due to its chemical structure, it binds and retains many times its own weight in water.
• Its unique property is that it forms a regular, stable and long lasting, lubricating and moisturising film on the eye surface that is not easily rinsed off.
• This so-called bioadhesive property ensures that the cornea and conjunctiva are protected and together with the physiologic tears the eye lid moves easily over the surface of the eye.

For hundreds of years, preparations of eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) have traditionally been used for the treatment of conjunctival irritation with red and burning eyes, increased tear secretion, swelling and red eyelids or eyelid margins.
