Cyclocan 0.05% Eye Drops 5 ml

A doctor will typically prescribe Cyclocan 0.05% Eye Drops 5 ml for the following reasons:

• Chronic dry eye (Keratoconjunctivitis sicca): Cyclocan 0.05% Eye Drops 5 ml helps by increasing your eyes' natural ability to produce tears when chronic inflammation has reduced normal tear flow.
• Ocular surface inflammation: Cyclocan 0.05% Eye Drops 5 ml targets and reduces swelling on the surface of the eye, allowing the tear glands to function more effectively.

This medication helps relieve the daily discomforts of severe dry eye by targeting the underlying cause rather than just masking the symptoms. Here is how it helps you feel better:

• Natural tear production: Unlike artificial tears that only provide temporary lubrication, this medication helps your body produce its own real tears.
• Long-term relief from irritation: By soothing chronic inflammation, it reduces the persistent gritty, sandy, or burning feeling associated with dry eyes.
• Protection for your vision: Consistent tear production helps protect the clear outer surface of your eye (the cornea) from the damage and scarring that severe dryness can cause.

• Cyclocan 0.05% Eye Drops 5 ml is typically used 1-2 times a day, or as prescribed by your healthcare provider, based on the severity of the condition.
• Tilt your head back, gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and instil the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye. Close your eye and gently press the corner of your eye near the nose for 1-2 minutes to prevent the drops from draining out.
• Avoid touching the dropper to any surface, including your eyes, to prevent contamination.

Managing chronic dry eye often requires a combination of medication and daily habits. Here are a few evidence-based tips to help support your eye health:

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall body moisture, including your tear film.
• Use a humidifier: Place a humidifier in your bedroom or office to add moisture to dry indoor air, especially during winter or in air-conditioned spaces.
• Wear protective eyewear: Wear wrap-around sunglasses when outdoors to shield your eyes from drying winds, dust, and direct sunlight.
• Practice the 20-20-20 rule: When using screens, look away every 20 minutes at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds to encourage natural blinking.
• Avoid direct air currents: Keep car vents, fans, and heating units pointed away from your face to prevent them from drying out your eyes.

• Wash Your Hands Before Use: Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying the eye drops to reduce the risk of eye infections.
• Avoid Contaminating the Dropper: Do not allow the dropper tip to touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any surface to help keep the medicine sterile.
• Inspect the Solution Before Use: Do not use the eye drops if the liquid appears discoloured, cloudy, unusually thick, or contains visible particles.
• Space Multiple Eye Medicines: If you use other eye drops or artificial tears, wait at least 15 minutes before applying another eye product, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Remove Contact Lenses Before Application: Remove your contact lenses before using Cyclocan 0.05% Eye Drops 5 ml. Reinsert them only after the period recommended by your doctor or the product instructions, as the emulsion may interact with the lens material.
