Introduction
HYCOSAN SHIELD is a water-free eye drop that soothes gritty and dry eyes by replenishing tear lipids.
HYCOSAN SHIELD lubricates the eye surface, stabilizing the tear film and relieving symptoms associated with Dry Eye with its unique, single-ingredient formula.
HYCOSAN SHIELD only contains perfluorohexyloctane (PFO). PFO spreads very quickly and rapidly forms a protective layer over the tear to counteract premature evaporation. HYCOSAN SHIELD offers improved tear film stability and symptom relief.
HYCOSAN SHIELD is a sterile solution that is water free, preservative free and phosphate free.

How it works
- HYCOSAN SHIELD is lipophilic due to the substance perfluorohexyloctane. It has the same refractive index as the tear, thus vision is not impaired.
- HYCOSAN SHIELD spreads very quickly and rapidly forms a protective layer over the tear to counteract premature evaporation.
- It replenishes the lipid layer of the tear film for a more stable tear film.
Usage Instructions

- Leave 30 mins between application and use of other eye drops. Apply HYCOSAN SHIELD last.
- Due to the special properties of HYCOSAN SHIELD, patients may not feel the drop entering the eyelid. Should this be the case, it may be helpful to use a mirror to aid application.
