Why has your doctor recommended using OCUNOX®?
How does OCUNOX® work?
OCUNOX® improves the tear film and protects the surface of the eye. Due to its particularly smooth texture, OCUNOX® gently moisturizes your eyes, stabilizes the tear film and prevents tears from evaporating while you sleep. OCUNOX® contains Vitamin A, a natural component of the tear film, that supports tolerance and helps ensure that the ointment mixes well with available tears to relieve the burning sensation of dry or tired eyes. OCUNOX® helps the eyelids slide easily over the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva, keeping the eyelids smooth and preventing crusting around the eye.OCUNOX®:Who can use OCUNOX®?
Children, pregnant and breast-feeding women can safely use OCUNOX®. If you use OCUNOX® during the day, your vision will be impaired for some time because of the fatty consistency of the ointment. For the duration of this impairment of vision you should not drive a car, use machines or perform any work without stable footing. OCUNOX® must not be used while wearing contact lenses.How often and how long can you use OCUNOX®?
The frequency of use depends on your individual discomfort and habits. OCUNOX®can be used in addition to lubricating eye drops. Ideally combine with our preservative-free, phosphate-free, 300-drop HYLO® / HYLO®Gel. Usually apply once a day before bedtime. If you feel the need to use OCUNOX® more often, talk to your doctor. The duration of treatment is not limited.How should OCUNOX® be applied?
Only use OCUNOX® if the sealing ring of the tube is intact. Eye ointments should be used by avoiding any contact between the tube-tip and the eye or the skin. Unscrew the cap covering the nozzle. Tilt back your head a little, then slightly retract the lower eyelid from the eye. Apply a slight pressure to the tube to squeeze a small amount of ointment into the conjunctival sac. Slowly close the eye. Close the tube carefully after use. Do not fold or coil up the tube. A tube of OCUNOX® should not be shared. Store at room temperature (15 to 25 °C).When should I not use OCUNOX®?
OCUNOX® should not be used if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients. OCUNOX® is preservative and phosphate free and is usually well tolerated. OCUNOX® must not be used while wearing contact lenses.Why is preservative free and phosphate free important?
