Hylo Night Eye Ointment (5g)

Active Ingredients

Retinol Palmitate (Vitamin A) 250 IU/g, liquid paraffin, light liquid paraffin, wool fat (lanolin), and white soft paraffin

Usage Instructions

How should Hylo Night Eye Ointment be administered for optimal comfort?

Hylo Night Eye Ointment is typically applied once daily immediately before going to sleep:

1. Wash and dry hands thoroughly before handling the tube.

2. Tilt the head back slightly and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pouch (conjunctival sac).

3. Hold the tube vertically above the eye without touching the tip to the eye, eyelid, or skin.

4. Gently squeeze the tube to deposit a small ribbon (approximately 1 cm) of Hylo Night Eye Ointment into the conjunctival sac.

5. Close the eye gently and blink a few times to distribute the ointment evenly across the ocular surface.

6. Replace the cap tightly immediately after use.

Because Hylo Night Eye Ointment creates a temporary oily film that causes transient blurred vision, it should ideally be used at bedtime.

Warnings

What critical safety precautions apply when using Hylo Night Eye Ointment?

Hylo Night Eye Ointment is strictly for ophthalmic cutaneous and conjunctival use; do not swallow the ointment. Do not use Hylo Night Eye Ointment if you have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to retinol palmitate, wool fat (lanolin), or any of the paraffin excipients in the formula.

Important Safety Precautions:

• Contact Lens Wearers: Hylo Night Eye Ointment must not be used while wearing contact lenses. Contact lenses must be removed before applying Hylo Night Eye Ointment and should not be reinserted until at least 30 minutes after waking, as the rich ointment will coat and ruin the lenses.

• Transient Blurred Vision: Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform hazardous activities immediately after application, as Hylo Night Eye Ointment temporarily blurs vision.

• Sequential Ocular Therapies: If using other eye drops or ointments concurrently, allow an interval of at least 30 minutes between preparations, and always administer Hylo Night Eye Ointment last.
