It is easy and comfortable to use, and is especially suitable for symptomatic treatment of severe dry eye.

Other information

Lipolasic is used for the symptomatic treatment of "dry eye", a dehydration of the eye surface resulting from alterations in tear secretion or quality, or when the eyelids cannot be closed partially or completely.

This eye disease is so common that one in five patients who visit an ophthalmologist suffer from it. Many factors can cause it, such as reduced tear production in old age, air conditioning, working on computers, hormonal changes during menopause, etc. Environmental and climatic factors can also play a role in the development of dry eye.

What do we understand by "dry eye"?

During the day, we blink an average of 14,000 times. With each palpebral movement, a thin film of tears is distributed over the surface of the eyeball, keeping it smooth, clean, and moist, and protecting the eye from contaminants. When the volume or composition of the tear film is altered, desiccation (drying) of the cornea and conjunctiva occurs, and the patient experiences symptoms such as burning, feeling of dry eye, feeling of foreign body or pressure, and light sensitivity.

Lipolasic is a soothing gel that moistens the eyes and provides a lubrication to the eyes and eyelids similar to that of tears. The carbomer in Lipolasic gel increases the thickness of the gel, keeping it in contact with the eye for a longer period of time.

Your ophthalmologist has prescribed a tear substitute for the relief of your eye discomfort. In addition to using it consistently, you should follow these recommendations:

  • Ventilate your apartment or house several times a day.
  • Make sure to drink enough.
  • Take breaks when working in front of a computer screen.
  • Do not direct the ventilation outlets towards your eyes.
  • Take breaks when working in front of a computer screen.

However, it is also important to consult your ophthalmologist regularly for follow-up, as dry eye can lead to a serious disease if it is not treated correctly or adequately.
