Hylo-night eye ointment
A preservative-free eye ointment tube with light liquid paraffin and vitamin A, perfect for overnight use. Each tube contains up to 300 applications making it very cost-effective.
Hylo-night (formerly VitA-POS) is a cost effective, preservative-free ointment that is easy to use and ideal for night-time use. Hylo-night, is a light paraffin based ointment which also contains vitamin A, which has been shown to improve symptoms of blurred vision and tear film stability in dry eyes. It has a much softer consistency than some of the older eye ointments, and as such is much easier to apply and more comfortable to use. It is completely preservative-free and remains sterile for up to 3 months from first opening. It provides lubrication to the eye surface for at least 6 hours.
As Hylo-night is ointment based it cannot be used with contact lenses, but it does provide long term relief for contact lens wearers i.e. night time use.
Vitamin A is part of the natural tear film and as such is very well tolerated as a lubricant. Vitamin A is required for the normal growth, maintenance and maturation of corneal cells and is therefore effective in their treatment when applied topically.
- preservative-free, phosphate free and therefore very well tolerated
- Remains sterile for 3 months from opening
- Very cost effective with 300 applications in one 5g tube
- Excellent duration of action offering at least 6 hours of comfort
Apply a small strand of Hylo-night into the lower eyelid every day before going to bed. Do not allow the tip of the tube to touch the eye. VitA-POS should not be used while wearing contact lenses. Take out your lenses before using Hylo-night and wait for at least 15 minutes after treatment before putting them back in.

The Hylo-Night is for my husband and assists with ongoing Post Surgical issues with one of his eyes. It is very soothing and helpful. It was initially prescribed by the Hospital, but not always available. Thank you for your prompt and reliable service.

Been using this for a while now but the price went up where I usually get it from- will definitely be buying from butterflies eye care in future as so much cheaper and delivery was fast and efficient
