Can I use EvoTears® with contact lenses?

If you wear contact lenses, you should not use EvoTears® because there are insufficient data on compatibility with contact lens materials.

How does perfluorohexyloctane help against dry eyes?

The lipophilic, i.e. oil-like, property of perfluorohexyloctane allows EvoTears® products to take over the function of the lipid layer. The resulting effective evaporation protection creates satisfied patients. In addition, the aqueous phase of the tear film is stabilized and watery eyes are prevented.

Thanks to lipophilic property, a velvety feeling is created in the eye during application.
