Hylo-Comod Mechanism of Action

If the eyes are itching, burning or easily tiring, if it feels as if there is sand, this might be due to lack of moisture on the surface of the eyes. Spending a longer time in an air-conditioned room, for example, or after intense computer work, the natural tear film that usually covers the eye surface breaks up more quickly. For the eye tissue to be fully functioning, it needs to be continuously lubricated by a tear film.
Due to surgical interventions on the eye or after injuries of the eye, the physiologic secretion of tears can be reduced. However, for the regeneration of the superficial tissues of the eye, a continuous and sufficient lubrication is necessary. The application of HYLO-COMOD supplies long lasting moisture to cornea and conjunctiva so that the physiologic process of healing is efficaciously supported.
HYLO-COMOD contains the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found in the eye but also in other parts of the body.
Due to its special physical property, it forms a regular, stable. long lasting lubricating moisture film on the ocular surface that is not easily rinsed off. It does, however, not cause blurred vision and protects the eyes from dryness and irritation for a long time.
This is particularly important if patient wears contact lenses, because the contact lens needs to swim in sufficient tear fluid in order not to cause any discomfort. HYLO-COMOD may be used while wearing contact lenses. Wearing soft or hard contact lenses will be made more comfortable by using HYLO-COMOD as it does not form crusts or deposits.
As HYLO-COMOD is preservative-free, it is usually very well tolerated.
Additionally HYLO-COMOD is free of phosphates so that complications like deposits in the cornea are avoided.
