Hycosan Night

I have dry eyes, which sometimes causes my eyelids to stick together overnight, so I've been putting ointment in my eyes before bedtime for decades. On a recent trip to the UK, I ran out and had to buy this "made in the UK" eye ointment. It is wonderful!!(1) It seems better than the US products I had been using - less blurring in the morning.(2) You get more product for less money.(3) The tube has a larger capacity so it lasts longer.(4) The applicator is much easier to use - the US products switched from a metal applicator to plastic and it became difficult to accurately apply - the Hycosan applicator is plastic - but much better designed.Seems like a much superior product.

I use this eye care product under the direction of my ophthalmologist for my dry eye problem allegedly complicated if not caused by air escaping from my CPAP machine and directed towards my mostly left eye while I sleep. Hycosan works very well and provides some nutrients to my stippled/dry/dying cornea in the process. [I have since also acquired a different nasal cushion which has small nostril pillows which minimizes errant air currents.]This product is now (24.0225) hard if not impossible to find for sale in these barely United States and my contact with the manufacturer/distributor advised me that Hycosan is now marketed here as Optase and which appears to have the same formula with the Vitamin A (and which Refresh PM does not have). All these ointments are way too expensive… but we do what we must.

I don’t like the flimsy manufacturers seal on the box, it should be placed around the opening of the tube. However, I went against my better judgment and tried it, and boy I’m glad I did. It made my eyes feel smooth and hydrated and completely resolve the itchy, burning sensation I was experiencing prior. I’m actually glad I found this product and hopefully they’ll change the packaging.

I have pretty severe dry eye when I sleep. my lids dont close all the way so they dry out and if I blink or open my eyes at night I scratch my cornea. Super painful. This stuff has no preservatives and keeps them lubricated all night. It does have some residual the next day that is a bit hard to get all out but does not blur my vision like other do the next day. I do need to wash and wipe my eyelids in the morning to get out the extra, but that is way better than having a scratched cornea.

I have severe dry eye from getting shingles in it a year ago. This is mainly a nighttime ointment but a month ago, my cornea specialist put me on these eye drops four times a day. Finally something that actually works for me. He instructed me to only order it from Amazon or Walmart to be assured of getting the real thing. It's not found in stores. It does make my vision blurry for about a half hour but it's worth it because now my eye doesn't have the burning feeling very often.

UPDATE : I removed 2 stars because of unnecessary plastic packaging.My have meibomian gland disorder, which means that the tiny oil glands in my eyelids don't put out enough oil to protect my tears from evaporating, resulting in dry eye. This is a very common condition.Using an eye ointment like this at bedtime is commonly recommended by ophthalmologists for this condition.I've used some common brands of eye ointment that are the same as this but without the vitamin A. And eye doctor suggested I try this one. I think it is helping more than the brands without the A.I don't bother with applying directly to my eyeballs from the tube. I just squeeze a little on a finger tip and then run that over the surface of my eye (you get used to it).

Helpful overnight treatment for dry eyes

I have extreme dry eyes with Eczema on the skin around them. I have cracking that is really painful as well. I received this product yesterday and used it last night. Wow, I noticed such a difference this morning. My eyes were not sealed shut and I didn't have to use steroid ointment to see results. I've tried over the counter ointments from the US as well and they just don't work for me. This comes from the UK and the tube is larger and the price is right. I highly recommend and I will continue to use! Finally relief!

Efficiente

I have tried them all and this is by far the best one, in fact for me its the only one that works for night time. I suffer from dry eyes at night time so much so I used to wake up where my eyes were so dry I couldnt even open them in the morning unless i put water on them because it was so painful they were stuck shut from no moisture. I use this cream now and its the best thing I have found to help. Its easy to apply, just pull your bottom lid down and use about 5mm in length in each eye, close your eyes and move your eyes around to get the the cream working. When you open them it is a bit blurry but it goes away pretty quick. Since Ive been using this cream I have never had any issues with waking up in pain and my eyes are never stuck shut any more. I would recommend this cream to anyone who suffers from dry eyes. It also has a longer shelf life than others on the market and I would say one tube lasts me well over a month maybe two using it every night.

I have had chronically dry eyes for over 40 years, and it often felt like they were being rubbed with sandpaper when I woke up at night. To that end, I have been forced to stick with a rigid set of steps, including some kind of thick lubrication just before going to bed. After years of using various brands using carbomer, I decided to give this a try instead, and I have come to the conclusion that it is a better product because it doesn’t just get me through the night without major discomfort; I now wake up with eyes that are genuinely moist in a way that feels very natural, and that’s a whole different experience, setting me up for less stressed eyes during the day as well. When the Hydroscan Night is applied, my vision goes a bit blurry, but that passes, and I just make a point of keeping my eyes closed to lock in that moisture as I go to bed. It feels thick and sticky at first, but that passes as well. My only negative observation centres on the claim of 300 applications because that sounds like cloud cuckoo land. It will last a month, and if you only needed a tiny amount, it might last a bit longer, but the idea that it would last several months seems highly improbable if used every day. The tube is small, but I still think it is good value because of the quality and the improvement in my eye comfort. No stinging or other problems.

Es una pomada fantástica para la sequedad del Ojo, como la ultima que me compré en la farmacia y a mitad de precio.

Unguento peristente e leggermente untuoso, efficace tutta la notte e ben piu resistente dei vari Gel che dopo poche ore perdono efficacia. Ottimo per secchezze estreme e croniche
