Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol
About Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol
Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol is a specialised ophthalmic solution formulated to relieve the discomfort of dry eyes and support the healing of the delicate outer layer of the eye. It is clinically used to treat surface irritation, corneal micro-scratches, and environmental dryness caused by wind, smoke, or prolonged computer screen exposure. By providing a protective, hydrating layer, it helps restore comfort to irritated eyes.
For optimal relief, you should use these eye drops consistently throughout the day as directed by your healthcare specialist. Most patients find that applying one to two drops several times daily helps maintain stable moisture on the ocular surface. Integrating basic lifestyle adjustments, such as using a humidifier and taking regular screen breaks, can also help maximise the healing benefits of this treatment.
While using Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol, some people may experience minor, short-lived side effects like a mild stinging sensation or temporary blurriness immediately after application. However, if you develop severe eye pain, persistent redness, vision changes, or signs of a serious allergic reaction, stop using the drops and consult your doctor immediately.
Talk to your doctor before starting this treatment if you have a history of chronic eye infections, severe ocular injuries, or have recently had eye surgery. Do not use this if you are allergic to panthenol, hyaluronic acid, or any other ingredients in this eye drop formulation.
Inform your doctor about any other eye drops you use, as they may interact or wash out if applied too close together. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing care for an elderly individual, consult your healthcare provider to confirm if this product is suitable for your specific needs.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Dry eyes: Dry eye, also called xeropthalmia, is a condition that occurs when there is not enough lubrication in the eye due to decreased production of tears or production of low-quality tears. This condition may lead to inflammation and damage to the eye. Symptoms include a burning or stinging sensation in the eye, eye irritation, sensitivity to light, redness and blurred vision. It may occur due to ageing, allergic eye diseases, thyroid problems, vitamin A deficiency, certain medications and eyelid problems.
FAQs
Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol is used in the treatment of dry eyes.
Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol is a combination of two medicines: Panthenol and Hyaluronic acid. Panthenol (derivative of vitamin B5) has antiinflammatory properties and hyaluronic acid (a complex sugar) helps to hold-on tears to moisten and lubricate the eyes. Together, Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol can reduce the symptoms of dry eyes.
If you use other eye ointments/drops along with Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol, it is advised to maintain a gap of at least 5-10 minutes after each administration. Also, use eye drops before applying any eye ointment.
Dry eyes may cause blurred vision due to a decrease in tear production in the eye. However, it doesn't cause permanent disturbances to your vision. The vision improves with the use of eye drops or when your eye condition improves.
You should remove your contact lenses before applying Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol to prevent the solution from building up on the lenses. Wait at least 15 minutes after application before putting your contact lenses back in. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about specific lens types.
The frequency of application depends on the severity of your dry eyes or corneal condition. Typically, it is used 3 to 4 times a day, but your eye care specialist will provide an exact plan. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms do not improve.
Yes, you may experience brief, temporary blurring of your vision immediately after putting the drops in your eyes. This is normal and should clear up within a few minutes as the liquid spreads across the eye. Avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is completely clear.
No, Hyaluronic Acid+panthenol is designed to lubricate and support the healing of dry or irritated eyes, not to treat bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. If you suspect you have an eye infection, talk to your doctor for an appropriate prescription treatment.
Because these eye drops act locally on the surface of the eye and contain ingredients that are naturally tolerated, they are generally considered safe. However, to ensure absolute safety, talk to your doctor before using any new medication during pregnancy.
Yes, the panthenol component helps support the natural healing and regeneration of the cornea's outer layer, while the hyaluronic acid keeps the eye lubricated to reduce irritation. If you have a suspected corneal scratch, talk to your doctor first for a proper diagnosis.
A mild, brief stinging sensation immediately after application is common and usually harmless. However, if the burning is severe, persists for more than a few minutes, or is accompanied by redness and swelling, stop using the drops and talk to your doctor immediately.
