Lubricant eye drops.
Sterile, free from preservatives.

Available on the NHS (FP10)

COMPOSITION:

1 ml solution contains sodium hyaluronate 1.8 mg, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, disodium phosphate, sodium citrate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride and water for injections. The solution is hypotonic.

INDICATIONS:

Moderate or severe sensation of dryness in the eye.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:

Individual hypersensitivity to any constituent of the product.

INTERACTIONS:

Do not use VISMED® at the same time as any drug or other product applied to the eye as it may modify their effects.

UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS:

On very rare occasions transient disorders such as irritation of the conjunctiva, foreign body sensation, redness or burning sensation of the eye, short-term blurred vision may occur. 

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:

Twist off tab. Tilt the head backwards and position the tip of the container above the eye to be treated. Move the lower eyelid down with the forefinger of one hand. Press the container and one drop of VISMED® will easily flow out (see illustrations). If not otherwise recommended, instill 1 or 2 drops of VISMED® onto the eye as often as needed.

After blinking, the solution will disperse and form a transparent and long-lasting coating on the surface of the eye. VISMED® may also be used while wearing contact lenses (rigid or soft).

1. Twist off cap
2. Instill solution into eye
3. Do not reuse!


PRECAUTIONS:

Do not touch the tip of opened container and do not touch the surface of the eye with the tip of the opened container. Any solution not used immediately after opening must be discarded. Otherwise the sterility is no longer guaranteed and this may be associated with a risk of infection. Do not use VISMED® if the container is damaged.

Store below 30 °C! Do not freeze! Do not use VISMED® after the expiry date indicated on the container and the folding box. If discomfort persists while using VISMED® consult a physician. 

Keep out of reach of children!

CHARACTERISTICS AND MODE OF ACTION:

VISMED® contains sodium hyaluronate, a natural polymer which is also present in the structures of the human eye. The particular physical characteristics of sodium hyaluronate confer to VISMED® its visco-elastic and water retaining properties. VISMED® provides a stable coating on the surface of the eye which is only slowly eliminated by blinking. Therefore VISMED® combines long lasting relief with maximum comfort. VISMED® is well tolerated due to its unique composition. It is free from preservatives.
