Hycosan Shield Eye Drops are an innovative preservative-free treatment designed specifically for evaporative dry eye and tear film instability caused by a deficient lipid layer. Unlike traditional aqueous eye drops, this advanced water-free formula works by replenishing the oily outer layer of the tear film, helping to reduce tear evaporation and provide lasting comfort for gritty, dry and persistently uncomfortable eyes.
Hycosan Shield contains a single ingredient — perfluorohexyloctane (PFO) — a specialised lipid-replenishing molecule that spreads rapidly across the eye surface to form a protective barrier. This helps stabilise the tear film, reduce moisture loss and protect the ocular surface from ongoing dryness and irritation. It is particularly suitable for people with evaporative dry eye, including symptoms linked to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
Because the formula is completely water-free, preservative-free and phosphate-free, Hycosan Shield offers a different approach to dry eye management compared with conventional lubricating drops. Its low surface tension allows rapid spreading with minimal visual disturbance, and each bottle can be used for up to 6 months after opening, making it a convenient long-term option for ongoing dry eye care.
