Thealoz Duo Gel:
Active Ingredients:
Trehalose (3%): A natural disaccharide that acts as a cell protector, stabilizing and shielding delicate eye cells from dehydration and oxidative stress.
Hyaluronic Acid (0.15%): A natural lubricant found in tears, offering long-lasting moisture and comfort, mimicking the natural tear film.
Carbomer: A thickening agent that creates a protective gel film on the eye surface, extending the residence time of the active ingredients and providing sustained relief.
Dosage Form:
Preservative-free, sterile single-dose vials: Convenient and hygienic, minimizing potential irritation and contamination. Each vial contains the optimal dose for one application.

Hydration: Trehalose and Hyaluronic Acid attract and retain moisture on the eye surface, alleviating dryness and irritation.
Cell Protection: Trehalose shields eye cells from damage caused by dehydration and free radicals, promoting long-term eye health.

Non-Pharmacological Treatments & Advice:
Reduce screen time: Excessive screen use can contribute to dry eyes. Take breaks and use artificial tears to lubricate your eyes while working on screens.
Blink more often: Consciously blink more frequently to spread your natural tears and keep your eyes moist.
Use a humidifier: Dry air can worsen dry eye symptoms. Using a humidifier can add moisture to the air and help keep your eyes hydrated.
Avoid irritants: Smoke, dust, and air pollution can irritate your eyes. Try to avoid these triggers as much as possible.
Wear sunglasses: Sunglasses can protect your eyes from wind, dust, and UV rays, all of which can contribute to dry eyes.
Remember: While Thealoz Duo Gel can offer significant relief for dry eye symptoms, it's important to consult your doctor if your symptoms persist or worsen. They can help determine the underlying cause of your dry eye and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
