Dry and sensitive eyes require particularly intensive and gentle care. Biolan Gel Eye Drops from Santen contain 0.3% hyaluronic acid and provide irritated eyes with lasting moisture. Since the gel is free from preservatives, it is also suitable for sensitive eyes. It can be used when wearing both hard or soft contact lenses.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the body's own tear fluid. It is produced in the cells of the conjunctiva and, together with the tear film, forms a film that protects the eye. Insufficient tear fluid can cause unpleasant irritation such as itching, stinging, or the feeling that you have a foreign body in your eye. Due to its ability to bind water very effectively, hyaluronic acid is an effective tear substitute. As it adheres so well to the surface of the eye, it can be relied on to stay where it is needed.
With 0.3% hyaluronic acid, Biolan Gel is especially suitable for very dry eyes and medium to severe discomfort. Blinking makes the slightly viscous gel mix with the tear fluid, creating a protective film on the surface of the eye. The eye is intensely moisturised, irritation is relieved. For those wearing contact lenses, it is particularly important that the tear film forms a sufficiently thick buffer between the eyelid and the cornea. This reduces friction on the surface of the eye, which effectively prevents irritation.
