Pharmacist FAQs Answered

What is the purpose of Hylo Night Eye Ointment?

Hylo Night is intended to provide long-lasting protection for dry, irritated, or itchy eyes overnight. It creates a protective film on the surface of the eye, aiming to reduce burning, itching, or crusting that is common in patients with nocturnal dry eye, blepharitis, or exposure-related irritation. It has vitamin A (retinol palmitate) that induces regeneration of the corneal and conjunctival surface. The gel-like texture provides a constant coating that lasts for at least 6 hours and is ideal for nighttime use. It has no preservatives, thus avoiding the dangers of eye irritations, and it's also sterile for up to 6 months after opening, making it both practical and economical.

How do I use Hylo Night correctly?

  • Use once a day, just before bedtime.
  • Start by washing your hands well.
  • Then pull the lower eyelid down gently and insert a small strand of ointment (half a centimetre) into the conjunctival sac—the space between your lower lid and eye.
  • Avoid touching the tube tip to your eye or eyelashes, as this will keep the product sterile.
  • After application, blink slowly to enable even distribution of the ointment.
  • Blurred vision is normal and temporary, so it's best used at night.
  • Do not use with contact lenses—remove lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before inserting them in the morning.

Can Hylo Night be used every night for the long term?

Yes, Hylo Night can be safely used long-term nightly, especially in patients with chronic dry eye, Meibomian gland dysfunction, or tear deficiency due to ageing. Its preservative-free and phosphate-free status makes it very well-tolerated, even for daily use. As it contains vitamin A, it might also promote long-term ocular surface health, especially when used regularly. With every 5g tube giving up to 300 applications, it is also cost-effective to use as a maintenance treatment. But suppose your dry eye symptoms worsen or don't improve after a few weeks of continuous use. In that case, you should consult your pharmacist or optometrist since further treatment or examination may be required.

Is Hylo Night safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Yes, it is safe to use Hylo Night during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Its ingredients are not systemically absorbed in significant amounts, so they are not expected to harm the unborn baby or breastfed infant. The product is preservative- and pregnancy-contraindicated, drug-free. However, if you are using any other eye treatment or have an underlying condition, always consult your local healthcare provider before using combined treatments. This will ensure your eye care routine is appropriate and safe during this time. Stop use if new symptoms appear and consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Is it possible to use Hylo Night with other eye drops?

Yes, you may use Hylo Night with other eye drops, but timing is important. As an ointment, it creates a thicker film on the eye's surface. Always insert eye drops first, wait at least 15 minutes, and then apply Hylo Night last. This allows the drops to be absorbed first, then the ointment can close the eye. Do not use Hylo Night in the daytime unless told, as it will temporarily blur vision. If you use multiple eye medications (like for glaucoma or infection), follow your doctor’s guidance on spacing applications.
