EYESTIL GEL gives relief to the symptoms of ocular dryness. It is intended to soothe symptoms of ocular discomfort due to wearing contact lenses. EYESTIL GEL is also indicated for the medication of wounds and abrasions of the ocular surface caused by traumatic events and after ocular surgery.
EYESTIL GEL contains two natural polymers: sodium hyaluronate and xanthan gum. After instillation in the conjunctival sac, EYESTIL GEL mixes with tears and forms a lubricating, viscous and transparent layer, reducing friction due to eye movements and blinking. EYESTIL GEL alleviates the symptoms of ocular dryness due to environmental and climatic conditions such as pollen, dust, glare, pollution, computer monitor use. EYESTIL GEL also protects the eye surface during wound or abrasion healing processes. The absence of preservative makes the product well tolerated.

Hold the single-dose container from the lower part and shake it downwards. 4. Open the unit by twisting and pulling the cap. 5.
