Hylo-Care has been specifically formulated to provide intensive moistening and to aid healing in a damaged or injured cornea especially after eye surgery or as a result of dry eyes. Like Hylo-Care, it contains 0.1% Sodium Hyaluronate, a substance which occurs naturally in the body and which has a long term moisturising effect due to its exceptional ability to bind and retain water. Hylo-Care also contains 2% Dexpanthenol, a derivative of vitamin B5. When applied to the eye, Dexpanthenol is converted to pantothenic acid, which not only provides additional moisture but has also been shown to have a beneficial effect on wound healing in many studies. Hylo-Care is an ideal alternative to night time ointments during the day.
