Indication:
Keratoconjunctival epithelial disorder resulting from the following diseases
•Intrinsic diseases such as Sjoögren's syndrome, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and sicca syndrome (dry eye)
•Extrinsic diseases caused by surgery, drugs, trauma, contact lens wearing
Benefits:
- Sodium hyaluronate binds to fibronectin and accelerates the adhesion and extension of epithelial cells. Sodium hyaluronate also has an excellent water-holding property because each sodium hyaluronate molecule can retain many H2O molecules.
- Acceleration of corneal wound healing
Topical application of sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution accelerates the wound healing of corneal epithelium in rabbits.
- Acceleration of corneal epithelial extension
Sodium hyaluronate accelerates the extension of corneal epithelial cells in isolated strips of cultured rabbit cornea.
- Prevention of corneal drying
When applied to isolated strips of rabbit cornea, sodium hyaluronate is significantly more effective than artificial tears in preventing corneal drying.
Composition:
Each mL contains 1 mg of purified sodium hyaluronate
