Dry eye syndrome happens when your eyes stop making tears as they usually would. Tears are an important part of your eye health as they help to keep your eyes moisturised, protect them against infections, clear away any debris from the surface of your eyes and keep your vision clear. Hycosan Extra is an ideal product for the Hydrate section of the recommended eye care/treatment plan "Heat, Cleanse, Hydrate". Each batch of the eye drops will last for five weeks with normal usage. After opening, Hycosan will still be effective up to a period of six months.
