Description:
Lubricating eye drops for moisturizing and protecting the surface of the eye with hyaluronic acid. For intensive lubrication and long-lasting relief, especially for severe and chronic dryness. Sterile, phosphate-free solution without preservatives. Soothing, well-tolerated, and long-lasting. Suitable for hard and soft contact lenses.

What is Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel?
Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel is a sterile, phosphate-free, and highly viscous wetting agent in the innovative SafeDrop system, a preservative-free multi-dose container co-developed by OmniVision. Thanks to its practical, wide finger rest, it can be applied optimally.

Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel contains hyaluronic acid and provides improved and long-lasting lubrication of the eye's surface. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance also found in the structures of the human eye and in the tear film, making it particularly well-tolerated. It is characterized by its high water-binding capacity, adheres well to the eye's surface (mucoadhesive properties), and is viscoelastic. Thus, Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel moisturizes, wets, and protects the eye's surface, ensuring a smooth, stable, and exceptionally long-lasting film of moisture. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel is very effective for severe and chronic dryness. It provides lasting relief from symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and minor discomfort.

Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel is also well-suited for wetting contact lenses, significantly improving wearing comfort.

Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel can be used for the following indications:

• in cases of dry eyes, which are caused, for example, by Sjögren's syndrome or by taking medication.
• environmental stress, e.g., from air conditioning, wind, cold, dryness, or air pollution, for example from cigarette smoke
• For fatigue and visual stress caused by intensive viewing, e.g., at computer screens, microscopes, or long car journeys.
• in the case of mechanical stress, e.g. by wearing hard or soft contact lenses.

When should you not use Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel?
If you have a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

Who is Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel suitable for?

• Suitable for use with adolescents and adults.
• Pregnant women, breastfeeding women and young children should consult their doctor before using Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel.

What side effects can occur when using Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel?

• After application, a temporary impairment of visual acuity (blurred vision) may occur. In this case, you should not drive or operate machinery. It is recommended to wait until normal visual acuity has returned.
• Immediately after instilling the drops, temporary symptoms such as a slight burning sensation in the eyes may occur.

What precautions and warnings should be observed?

• Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel should be kept out of the reach of children.

How is Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel used?

For external use only.

Step 1:
Before first use, please record the date the bottle was opened in the space provided on the bottle label. Remove the protective cap before each use.

Step 2:
Before first use, please press the SafeDrop® bottle several times until the first drop is dispensed. Hold the bottle upside down as shown in the illustration. Please avoid any contact between the dropper tip and your fingers or eye.

Step 3:
Hold the bottle as shown in the picture. Ensure your thumb rests on the wide, non-slip, round finger rest.

Step 4:
Now tilt your head back slightly (neck position) and gently pull down your lower eyelid with your free hand. Instill one or two drops of Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel into the conjunctival sac of each eye by pressing the pump mechanism once or twice. Ensure the bottle is held vertically during this process. Close your eyes slowly so that Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel can spread evenly across the surface of your eyes.

Alternatively, if using the drops with contact lenses, apply one or two drops to each contact lens before inserting it into your eyes, instead of putting the drops directly into your eyes.

Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel can also be used while wearing contact lenses.

How often and for how long should you use Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel?
Use Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel as needed or as directed by your doctor.

Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel is suitable for long-term use; however, as with any condition, you should consult an ophthalmologist if symptoms persist.

If you are also using other topical eye treatments, there should be an interval of approximately 30 minutes between applications. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Gel should be applied after the other products.
