Thealoz® Duo is an original tear substitute with a unique natural composition. The combination of two natural ingredients, Hyaluronic Acid and Trehalose, offer maximum hydration and lubrication of the ocular surface in patients with mild to severe dry eye.
Hyaluronic acid is a biopolymer with the ability to hold large amounts of water and at the same time adhere to the ocular surface providing greater hydration and lubrication. At the same time, trehalose enhances the prolonged action of hyaluronic acid, resulting in the reduction of drips by up to 50%.
In dry eye, extreme conditions prevail on the ocular surface, such as a hyperosmotic and dry environment, which result in the cells dehydrating and falling off, resulting in inflammation in the area. Trehalose enters the epithelial cells and protects the cell membrane from water loss and proteins from denaturation, thus avoiding osmotic stress and cell dehydration.
Both hyaluronic and trehalose aid in the migration, adhesion, proliferation and protection of ocular surface cells. The regenerative and healing action of Thealoz® Duo make it an ideal preparation after eye surgeries and injuries.
Finally, the solution of Thealoz® Duo is Subtonic to offer relief and protection to contact lens users, without affecting soft lenses due to the lack of preservatives.
Thealoz® Duo is in a multi-purpose vial without preservatives thanks to the Abak® filter system.
