Description

Optinol 0.40% are viscous drops that prolong the action of sodium hyaluronate on the surface of the eyes. Optinol 0.40% drops moisturize the surface of the eye for a longer time and enhance protection.

The main goal of treating dry eye is to increase the stability and volume of the precorneal tear film. Hyaluronic acid, which is part of Optinol in the form of sodium hyaluronate, has a chemical structure, molecular weight and rheological properties similar to mucin, a component of human tears. Due to its properties, hyaluronic acid moisturizes the eye without impairing vision. In addition, its ability to bind water allows you to keep the surface of the eye moist.

When applied topically, hyaluronic acid increases the stability of the precorneal tear film, has a positive effect on the epithelial layer, helps increase the volume of tear fluid and corneal moisture, and also reduces the evaporation of tears from the surface of the eye.

Sodium hyaluronate is not absorbed after topical application.

Indication

Optinol 0.40% eye drops are prescribed for:

Symptomatic treatment of dry cornea and conjunctiva (dry eye syndrome). For the temporary relief of burning and irritation caused by dry eye and as a protection against further irritation. For the temporary relief of discomfort caused by minor eye irritation:
exposure to wind, sun, smoke, central heating, air conditioners, fluorescent lighting, prolonged use of a computer monitor, wearing contact lenses; after using medications that can cause dryness and irritation of the surface of the eye; with diseases and conditions that can cause dryness and discomfort in the eye.

Application features

Optinol is compatible with all types of contact lenses and can provide a feeling of comfort when wearing contact lenses. It is recommended to remove contact lenses for 15 minutes when instilling Optinol 0.40%. The Optinol eye dropper has a filter that protects the contents of the container from contamination after opening for 180 days. Optinol is intended for individual use by one person only. In case of severe or persistent dry eye, you should consult a doctor.

Method of administration and doses

Instill 1-2 drops into each eye 3 times a day. After instillation, blink several times to evenly distribute the solution over the entire surface of the eye. With each blink, sodium hyaluronate forms a protective film on the surface of the eye.

If necessary, the frequency of instillation can be increased, since Optinol does not contain preservatives. A significant increase in the frequency of use of Optinol (for example, more than 10 times a day) is allowed only on the prescription of an ophthalmologist and under his supervision.

The duration of use is determined by the doctor individually.
