i.com Comfort Shield® SD eye drops 0.3 ml, 15 ST

Comfort Shield® SD eye drops moisturise and protect your eyes for a long time in the event of dryness, irritation and when wearing contact lenses. Preservative-free for high tolerability.

Comfort Shield is a sterile, preservative-free, viscoelastic, clear protective shield for the cornea. It is an isotonic liquid that contains only substances that are natural components of the human eye. Comfort Shield therefore does not cause allergies and can also be used by allergy sufferers. Comfort Shield contains 1.20 mmol/l phosphate, which is within the physiological range. Comfort Shield eye drops can be used as often as necessary to provide relief from pain and discomfort and are compatible with all contact lenses.

Comfort Shield mimics the function of natural tears, protecting and moisturising the surface of the eye and making it lubricated. This provides long-lasting relief for dry eyes caused by:

• Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (Sjögren's syndrome)
• Corneal injuries, erosions, surgical procedures on the cornea
• Contact lens wear
• Side effects of medication
• Hormonal disorders, menopause
• Air conditioning, wind, cold, dry heat, dust, smoke, air pollution
• Screen work, long car journeys, long-haul flights
• Swimming in chlorinated water

Comfort Shield eye drops contain sodium hyaluronate with a very high molecular weight (Hylan A; intrinsic viscosity 2.9-3.5 m³/kg). The concentration of only 0.15% in combination with the very high molecular weight creates highly viscoelastic properties of the eye drops, resulting in excellent wetting of the ocular surface and stabilisation of the tear film, which persists even after blinking. In an international multi-centre clinical study of patients with severe dry eye, Comfort Shield eye drops were shown to provide superior relief from the symptoms of ocular surface disease, particularly irritation, pain and unstable vision.

Chronic ocular surface disease is often associated with corneal nerve impairment. It has been shown that regular use of Comfort Shield eye drops over a period of eight weeks leads to recovery of the corneal nerves. This is of particular relevance for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, neurotrophic keratopathy, autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome or graft-versus-host disease and damaged nerves following eye surgery.
