Description
Lubricating and antioxidant ophthalmic gel without preservatives based on coenzyme Q10, vitamin E TPGS and cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose, indicated for both day and night use.
Cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose is an extremely safe and inert biosynthetic substance, more effective and long-lasting. Its cross-linking and the lack of specific enzymes capable of degrading the molecule at the ocular surface stabilize the polymer, giving it a longer half-life than traditional hyaluronic acids. Furthermore, cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose is a hydrogel that in its native state exhibits specific viscosupplementation, hydration, mucomimetic, and substance delivery properties.
The combination of cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose and antioxidant/antiradical substances gives VISUXL GEL a more effective action in cases of:
- moderate-severe dry eyes;
- foreign body trauma;
- alterations in the continuity of the corneal and conjunctival surface after refractive corneal surgery, corneal transplant, in order to alleviate the typical post-surgical symptoms by acting as a clear cushion between the eyelid and the corneal and conjunctival epithelium;
- alterations of the ocular surface linked to metabolic diseases (diabetes).
How to use
Instill 1 drop of VISUXL GEL into the conjunctival sac of each eye twice a day or as advised by your ophthalmologist.
