Hylo Gel Eye Drop is a lubricant. It is used in the treatment of dry eyes. It moistens the eyes and relief from discomfort and temporary burning. It also helps in treating corneal burns by forming a soothing layer that reduces irritation and protecting the damaged cornea.
Hylo Gel Eye Drop is usually instilled whenever needed. Use the number of drops as advised by your doctor. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering any other medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Do not use a bottle if the seal is broken before you open it, if solution changes color, or becomes cloudy. Always wash your hands and do not touch the end of the dropper as this could infect your eye.
It is generally safe to use medicine with no common side effects. Let your doctor know if you experience any mild burning or irritation of eyes. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires clear vision until you are sure you can do it safely. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve or if the side effects bother you. People with narrow angle glaucoma should not use this medicine.
Normally your eyes produce enough natural tears to help them move easily and comfortably and to remove dust and other particles. If they do not produce enough tears, they can become dry, red, and painful. Dry eyes can be caused by wind, sun, heating, computer use, and some medications. Hylo Gel Eye Drop keeps your eyes lubricated and can relieve any dryness and pain. This medicine is safe to use with few side effects. If you wear soft contact lenses, you should remove them before applying the drops.

The treatment is of dry eyes and it's OK. Visit eye doctor again for examination
Hello doctor,I am a student so I sleep late and I rarely get a sleep of more than 7 hours and there's significant usage of phone while I'm awake. My eyesight seems to be normal but when I wake up in the morning, my eyelids are heavy and I find it difficult to keep my eyes open and there is minor irritation in the eyes. It goes away as the day progresses and after I wash my eyes properly in the morning. Please let me know what could be the problem and what medicine should I take to counter it. Thanks a lot :)
