Evaporative dry eyes are caused by an unstable or deficient lipid layer of the tear film (the top outer most layer) that affects almost 90% of dry eye patients. Despite this, only a small proportion of products address lipid layer issues.

Hycosan Shield offers the unique lipid layer replacement benefits of perfluorohexyloctane. This allows Hycosan Shield to replace the function of the lipid layer, forming an outer shield over the surface of the tear film, reducing evaporation of the watery layer.

  • Spreads easily due to low surface tension properties
  • Replaces the outer lipid layer of the tear film
  • Helps to indirectly re-establish the tear film's watery layer by preventing its evaporation
  • Increases tear film thickness, as well as lipid layer thickness, over time
  • Preservative & phosphate free

    Hycosan Shield

    Bottle doesn’t work properly even when you carefully follow the instructions. As soon as as you tip the bottle upside down above your eye the drops fall out without squeezing the bottle. Bearing in mind this tiny 3ml bottle costs £20 it is poor value for money. The drops don’t really work for me as I need more lubrication.

    Hello Jeffrey

    I am sorry to read you are having problems administering the eye drops.
    As you have mentioned, they do have an unusual method of application.

    Just to be sure, we have a video of the drops being applied that may be worth watching here;
