Interactions

Side effects

In very rare cases, temporary ailments may occur, such as conjunctival irritation, foreign body sensation, redness or burning of the eyes as well as temporarily blurred vision.

Dosage and type of application

Unscrew the cap from the single-dose container, tilt your head back and hold the dropper over the eye to be treated. Pull the lower eyelid of the eye down with the index finger of one hand. By gently pressing the container, a drop of Vismed solution is released. Unless otherwise recommended, drop 1 - 2 drops of Vismed into the eye as required. The solution is distributed by blinking and forms a transparent and durable layer of fluid on the surface of the eye. Vismed can also be used while wearing hard or soft contact lenses.

Precautions

Do not touch the dropper tip of the opened ampoule and do not bring it into direct contact with the eye. Otherwise, the ampoule should be disposed of immediately after use. Close the ampoule again after use. Since Vismed does not contain any preservatives, the solution should be used within 12 hours of opening. Any solution that is not used within 12 hours of opening must be discarded. Otherwise, sterility is no longer guaranteed and this can lead to a risk of infection. Do not use damaged Vismed ampoules. Store below 30°C! Do not freeze! Do not use Vismed after the expiry date stated on the ampoule and the folding box. If your symptoms persist while using Vismed, you should seek medical attention. Keep out of reach of children.

Properties and mode of action

Vismed contains sodium hyaluronate, a natural polymer that is also found in structures of the human eye. The special physical characteristics of sodium hyaluronate give Vismed its important viscoelastic and water-binding properties. Vismed forms a stable layer on the surface of the eye, which is only gradually removed by blinking. Vismed therefore combines long-lasting effect with maximum comfort. Vismed is excellently tolerated due to its special composition. Vismed is free from preservatives.
