What are Hylo-Tear eye drops?

Hylo-Tear eye drops are a solution for mild to moderate bouts of dry eyes. If you suffer from that itchy, gritty feeling in your eyes after a day of wearing contact lenses or working at your computer, Hylo-Tear drops can help to hydrate your tired eyes fast. Just one drop in each eye is all you need to soothe your eyes and get rid of irritation, so you can get back to whatever you’re doing without any annoying distractions.

Why are my eyes so dry?

There are lots of reasons why you might have dry eyes, it happens to everyone every once in a while. However, there are some things that can make dry eyes a more common problem, including:

• Wearing contact lenses

• Looking at screens all day

• Being in an air-conditioned or heated environment

• Dry, windy, cold, hot, or dusty weather

• Being older than 50

• Some medications

• Some medical conditions

How will Hylo-Tears help to hydrate my dry eyes?

Hylo-Tears eye drops contain an active ingredient called sodium hyaluronate, which helps to replenish your natural tear film. It works like your natural tears to hydrate and lubricate your dry eyes. This helps to ease your irritation and reduce that gritty, itchy feeling in your tired eyes.

What is the difference between Hylo-Tear and Hylo-Forte eye drops?

Hylo-Tear and Hylo-Forte eye drops are very similar, as they use the same active ingredient and soothe your dry eyes in the same way. The difference between the two is that Hylo-Tear eye drops contain a 0.1% solution of sodium hyaluronate, where Hylo-Forte eye drops use a 0.2% solution, making them stronger. This means that Hylo-Tear eye drops are better for mild to moderate cases of dry eyes and Hylo-Forte eye drops are better for severe or persistent cases.

Can I use these eye drops with my contact lenses?

Hylo-Tear eye drops can be used with all different types of contact lenses, perfect for people who find that their contacts dry out their eyes as the day goes on. However, if you’re ever worried about whether your contact lenses are compatible with eye drops, we’d recommend speaking to your optometrist for advice.
