Step by step
CALMO® Eye Spray provides the benefits of a drop in a spray bottle!
Used in environment-related disorders such as dry eyes, strained eyelids, foreign body sensation, and a burning and itching sensation in the eyes. The liposomes and pro-vitamin B5 (dexpanthenol) in CALMO® Eye Spray moisturize the eye area and provide preventative protection for the skin.
Why CALMO® Eye Spray? CALMO® Eye Spray is a preservative-free and phosphate-free liposomal spray for dry eye relief. Upon being sprayed on the closed eye, CALMO® Eye Spray offers immediate comfort and humidification of dry eyes and stabilizes the lipid layer of the tear film. It should be used in environment-related disorders such as dry eyes, strained eyelids, foreign body sensation, and burning and itching sensation in the eyes. The liposomes and pro-vitamin B5 (dexpanthenol) in CALMO® Eye Spray moisturize the eye area and provide preventative protection for the skin.
How does CALMO® Eye Spray work? CALMO® Eye Spray addresses one of the root causes of dry eye. The lipid layer of the tear film prevents tears from evaporating and running over the lid margin. A lack of these lipids results in increased evaporation of tears. The liposomes in CALMO® Eye Spray consist of lipids very similar to those that occur in your own tear film, which are responsible for stabilizing that previously mentioned lipid layer.
Once sprayed on the closed eyes, the liposomes contained in CALMO® Eye Spray mix with lipids produced by the Meibomian glands at the lid margin.
With every subsequent blink, this optimized lipid mix gets spread onto the tear film and thus stabilizes it. The lipid layer of the tear film is very thin, so already a small amount of CALMO® Eye Spray is sufficient to repair and stabilize that lipid layer. The effect of 1–2 sprays will work for approximately 4 hours.
Who can use CALMO® Eye Spray and how long/how often? CALMO® Eye Spray is suitable for all ages, for pregnant women, and during lactation. Generally, applying CALMO® Eye Spray 3–4 times per day is recommended. If you apply CALMO® Eye Spray more frequently (e.g.: more than 10 times per day) or suffer from more severe complaints, please consult your ophthalmologist or optometrist. CALMO® Eye Spray is suitable for long-term treatment. For more severe cases, CALMO® Eye Spray may be used more often and in combination with HYLO®, HYLO-DUAL®, HYLO GEL®, or HYLO DUAL INTENSE™. Ideally, CALMO® Eye Spray is used about 5 minutes after application of the HYLO® drops.
Can CALMO® Eye Spray be used after surgery? Any eye surgery can increase the risk of problems with post-surgery dryness. Lubrication with artificial tears and the use of a liposome-based eye spray, like CALMO®, have both proved their applicability for the treatment of dry eye symptoms after refractive and cataract surgery.
How to store CALMO® Eye Spray? Store between 2°C and 25°C (in a cool, dry place). Do not freeze, as this may result in disintegration of the liposomes.
