What is Ocutears® Alo+ and what problems can it be used for?

Ocutears® Alo+, whose main ingredients are cross-linked hyaluronic acid (0.2%) and Aloe vera (0.1%), is used to treat the symptoms of dry eye and discomfort in the eye and to protect the cornea.

The cross-linked hyaluronic acid provides the product with high moisturising properties and a high viscoelasticity for a long-lasting ocular surface presence, which allows the product to provide long-lasting relief of dry eye symptoms.

Aloe vera is known for its moisturising, decongestant and lubricating properties, which enhance the moisturising effect of the eye drop, making vision more comfortable and prolonging the feeling of freshness. Aloe Vera has also been shown to be useful in cases of redness or particularly sensitive eyes due to its strong moisturising and long-lasting protective properties.

Ocutears® Alo+ is indicated in the following cases:

• relieve symptoms of dry eyes, irritation and redness caused by environmental factors or medication
• to lubricate the eyes and improve comfort when wearing contact lenses

Ocutears® Alo+ is useful during and after:

• exposed to prolonged sunlight;
• use of air conditioning;
• prolonged use of digital screens (monitor, telephone);

Ocutears® Alo+ can relieve uncomfortable eye discomfort after eye surgery.
