Evaporation protection with perfluorohexyloctane

Product The unique* protection: EvoTears®

The increased use of smartphones and PCs, as well as drafts and unfavorable climatic conditions, mean permanent stress for the eyes. These factors can contribute to the lipid layer being impaired (e.g. due to significantly reduced eyelid blink frequency at the screen) and lead to excessive evaporation of the tear film. Dry and even watery eyes are then not long in coming. In such cases, EvoTears® eye drops can support the eyes. The first water-free eye drops are very good for relieving the symptoms of dry eye. With the ingredient perfluorohexyloctane, they do not replace the watery part of the tear film, but lie over it like a protective coat and can thus prevent premature evaporation. Due to their special flow properties, EvoTears® are available in a practical dropper bottle in which no germs can develop, even without preservatives. This means they are well tolerated and have a shelf life of 6 months after opening.


*Because of perfluorohexyloctane and absence of water.

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.
