OCUTEIN Ribo Hyal eye gel 10 ml

Ocutein Ribo-Hyal is an artificial tear gel for the treatment of dry eye syndrome that contains hyaluronic acid conjugated with riboflavin.

Ocutein Ribo-Hyal is a hypoosmolar artificial tear gel for the treatment of dry eye syndrome containing hyaluronic acid conjugated with riboflavin.
The surfaces of the eyes become dry due to inflammation caused by changes in the components of the tear film. The quantity and quality of tears (water, mucus and lipids) becomes insufficient. Ocutein Ribo-Hyal solution lubricates the cornea and conjunctiva, and acts nourishing, protective and as an antioxidant against the negative factors of the external environment: physical (thermal, traumatic effects), light (caused by a smartphone, TV, computer, solar radiation) and chemical factors ( due to liquid and gaseous pollutants). Therefore, Ocutein Ribo-Hyal ophthalmic solution is indicated for all patients who require lubrication of the ocular surface and reduction of oxidative stress. The product can also be used while wearing contact lenses. In addition, the hypoosmolar effect of the solution balances the hyperosmolarity of tears in dry eye syndrome. Vitamin E TPGS is able to form amphiphilic micellar structures. This allows the ophthalmic solution to promote the restoration of the natural lipid layer in dry eye syndrome caused by meibomian gland dysfunction.

In addition, the ability of vitamin E TPGS to form micellar structures contributes to the strengthening of hyaluronic acid on the surface of the eye, thus promoting the natural regeneration of the mucous layer of the tear film.

The cell membranes of the ocular surface are rich in microvilli, cell membrane extraversions whose function is to mechanically bind hyaluronic acid to other glycoproteins of the extracellular matrix; In this way, the mechanical intercellular adhesion of the conjugated hyaluronic acid is ensured. It provides antioxidant, protective, nourishing and regenerating effects on the entire surface of the eye.

The RIBOHYAL molecule, thanks to its ability to bind to the micro surfaces of the epithelial cells of the eye surface, allows the conjugated hyaluronic acid to be mechanically fixed in the cells, promotes the regeneration of the mucous layer of the tear film, trophism and regeneration of the epithelial layer in case of damage caused by pathogenic causes.

The gel should be used in the same way as regular eye drops. The product spreads in a few seconds, forming a stable protective layer over the tear film, preventing a premature decrease in the amount of tears.
