What is Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus?
Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus is a sterile, phosphate-free and medium-viscous wetting agent in the innovative SafeDrop system, a preservative-free multi-dose container co-developed by OmniVision. It can be optimally applied with the help of the practical wide finger rest. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus contains hyaluronic acid and allantoin and serves to improve and prolong the moistening of the eye surface. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that also occurs in structures of the human eye and in the tear film, and is therefore particularly well tolerated. It is characterised by a high water-binding capacity, adheres well to the eye surface (mucoadhesive properties) and is viscoelastic. Thus, Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus moistens, wets and protects the surface of the eye and ensures an even, stable and particularly long-lasting moisture film on the eye surface. Allantoin is a plant-based active ingredient that is extracted from the comfrey plant, for example. Allantoin has a physically soothing and nourishing effect and, in combination with hyaluronic acid, helps to retain moisture. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus provides long-lasting relief from dryness, irritation and minor irritations. As a soothing moisturiser, it supports cell regeneration. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus is well suited for wetting contact lenses. This significantly improves the wearing comfort of contact lenses.

• in case of fatigue and visual stress due to intensive vision, e.g. on computer screens, microscopes or long car journeys.
• in case of mechanical stress, e.g. due to wearing hard or soft contact lenses or due to diagnostic interventions on the eye.

When should Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus not be used?

Who is Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus suitable for?

What side effects can occur when using Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus?
After application, a temporary impairment of visual acuity (blurred vision) may occur. In this case, no vehicle should be driven and no machinery should be operated. It is advisable to wait until normal visual acuity has returned. Immediately after instillation, temporary symptoms, e.g. slight burning of the eyes, may occur.

What precautions and warnings should be observed?
Do not use if the SafeDrop multi-dose container is damaged. Do not touch the eye with the dropper tip to avoid infections or injuries to the eye. The dropper tip must not be touched with other objects or body parts. Do not use for the sole treatment of an eye infection. Do not use the eye drops after the expiry date. This is stated on each SafeDrop bottle and on the folding box. A single multi-dose container must not be used by several patients. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus is not suitable as a storage solution for contact lenses. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus should be kept out of the reach of children. If your symptoms persist while using Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus, please consult your ophthalmologist.

How is Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus used?
For external use only.

Step 1

Please document the date of first use in the field provided on the bottle label before first use. Wash your hands and remove the protective cap before each use.

Step 2

Please perform several pressing movements before the first use of the SafeDrop bottle until the first drop is produced. Hold the bottle upside down as shown in the illustration. Please avoid any contact of the dropper tip with your fingers and the eye.

Step 3

Hold the bottle as shown in the picture. Make sure that your thumb rests on the wide, non-slip, round finger rest.

Step 4

Now tilt your head back slightly (neck position) and gently pull the lower eyelid away from the eye with your free hand. Instil one to two drops of Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus into the conjunctival sac of each eye by pressing the pump mechanism once or twice. Make sure that the bottle is held upright. Slowly close your eyes so that Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus can spread evenly over the surface of the eye. Alternatively, if the drops are used in conjunction with contact lenses, apply one to two drops to each contact lens before inserting them into your eyes, instead of putting the drops directly into your eyes. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus can also be instilled while wearing contact lenses. After use, close the multi-dose container with the protective cap.

How often and for how long should Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus be used?
Apply Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus as needed or as directed by your ophthalmologist. In general, adults and adolescents instil 1 - 2 drops of Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus into the conjunctival sac of each eye 3 times a day. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus is suitable for long-term use, however, as with all conditions, you should consult an ophthalmologist if symptoms persist. In the case of additional local treatment of the eyes, there should be a time interval of approx. 30 minutes between the two applications. Hylo-Vision SafeDrop Plus should be applied after the other products.
