Step by step
OCUNOX® eye ointment protects the surface of the eye. OCUNOX® contains Vitamin A, a natural part of the tears, that optimizes the comfortable and hydrating feeling. It is ideal for protection of the eye at night. It gently lubricates the eyes while preventing the tears from evaporating during sleep.
Your doctor or optometrist may recommend using an eye ointment such as OCUNOX to alleviate symptoms of dry eye, after eye surgery, or after an eye injury. If you use OCUNOX® during the day, your vision will be impaired for some time because of the fatty consistency of the ointment. For the duration of this impairment of vision you should not drive a car, use machines or perform any work without stable footing.
Vitamin A is a natural component of the tear film. It supports tolerance and helps ensure that the ointment mixes well with available tears to relieve the burning sensation of dry or tired eyes.
Our tear production tends to decrease at night when our eyes are closed. During sleep, the lacrimal gland produces only about a third of the daytime output of tears. OCUNOX® Eye Ointment is designed to provide optimal nighttime protection and moisturization.
A sterile packaging like OCUNOX®’s means that only the necessary ingredients are used. OCUNOX® contains only high-quality ingredients, including retinol palmitate (vitamin A), paraffin, wool fat, and white petrolatum.
OCUNOX® Eye Ointment is preservative-free and phosphate-free, which helps avoid unwanted complications such as intolerance or deposits in the cornea. Preservatives can damage the cells of the eye surface, destroy the natural tear film and be the cause of intolerance reactions. Phosphate buffers can form insoluble crystals due to the reaction with calcium (released from damaged cells). These crystals can impair your vision.
Do not store above 25°C.
Keep OCUNOX out of reach and sight of children.
