Frequently asked questions
Which Hycosan eye drops should you use?
The range steps up by dryness: standard Hycosan for everyday dryness, Hycosan Extra for more persistent dry eye, Hycosan Intense for very dry eyes, and Hycosan Fresh to also refresh tired eyes. If you are not sure which suits you, an optician or pharmacist can advise based on your symptoms.
How do you use Hycosan eye drops?
Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower lid and squeeze one drop into the pocket it forms, then blink to spread it. The COMOD bottle needs a few firm pumps to prime it the first time - follow the instructions on your pack.
Can you use Hycosan with contact lenses?
Yes - because Hycosan is preservative-free, it can generally be used while wearing soft or hard contact lenses, which is one of its advantages. Check the specific product's leaflet to be sure.
How often can you use Hycosan?
As it is preservative-free, Hycosan can be used as often as you need for comfort, even several times a day. If you find you are relying on it very frequently, it is worth having your eyes checked by an optician.
What is Hycosan used for?
Hycosan is used to relieve the symptoms of dry eye - dryness, grittiness, irritation and tiredness - using sodium hyaluronate to lubricate and protect the surface of the eye. It soothes the symptoms; persistent dry eye is worth getting assessed.
