Hylo-Forte eye drops give intensive, long-lasting relief for severe or persistent dry eyes. Each bottle contains 2 mg/ml (0.2%) sodium hyaluronate in a preservative-free and phosphate-free formula, delivering at least 300 measured drops that stay sterile for 6 months after opening.

What is Hylo-Forte?

Hylo-Forte is a preservative-free lubricating eye drop (artificial tears) made with sodium hyaluronate, a moisture-binding substance found naturally in the eye. It comes in the COMOD multi-dose pump bottle — an airless system that keeps the solution sterile without preservatives, which matters because preservatives can themselves irritate dry, sensitive eyes with long-term use. Hylo-Forte is a CE-marked medical device rather than a medicine, so anyone can buy it without a prescription or questionnaire.

What is Hylo-Forte used for?

  • Moderate to severe or persistent dry eye — burning, gritty, tired or itchy eyes
  • Dryness caused by screen use, air conditioning, heating or windy weather
  • Lubrication after eye surgery, on the advice of your surgeon or optician
  • Dry eye linked to contact lens wear

How does Hylo-Forte work?

Sodium hyaluronate forms a smooth, stable film over the surface of the eye. At the higher 2 mg/ml concentration in Hylo-Forte, this film is more viscous, so it clings to the eye for longer and gives stronger, longer-lasting lubrication than standard-strength drops — without blurring vision the way a gel or ointment can during the day.

How to use Hylo-Forte

  • Before first use, press the pump a few times until a drop appears.
  • Apply 1 drop into each eye, usually 3 times a day, or as advised by your optician or doctor.
  • If you need drops more than 10 times a day, get your eyes checked by an eye specialist.
  • Hold the bottle tip downwards and do not let it touch your eye or skin.
  • If you use other eye drops, leave about 30 minutes between products, and apply eye ointments last.
  • Use within 6 months of first opening. Store at room temperature.

Hylo-Forte vs Hylo-Tear vs Hylo Night

The Hylo range covers different levels of dryness. Hylo-Tear contains 1 mg/ml sodium hyaluronate for mild to moderate dry eye. Hylo-Forte doubles the concentration to 2 mg/ml for more severe or persistent symptoms. Hylo Night is a vitamin A eye ointment used at bedtime to protect and soothe the eyes overnight — many people combine Hylo-Forte during the day with Hylo Night before sleep.

Can you use Hylo-Forte with contact lenses?

Yes. Because Hylo-Forte is preservative-free, it is suitable for use with both soft and rigid (hard) contact lenses, and can be applied while your lenses are in.

Hylo-Forte FAQs

How many times a day can you use Hylo-Forte?
Hylo-Forte is usually applied as 1 drop into each eye 3 times a day, but it can be used more often if needed. If you find you need drops more than 10 times a day, have your eyes examined by an eye specialist.
How long does Hylo-Forte last after opening?
Thanks to the airless COMOD pump, Hylo-Forte stays sterile and can be used for 6 months after first opening. Each bottle delivers at least 300 drops — around 6 weeks of use at 3 drops per eye per day.
Can I use Hylo-Forte with contact lenses?
Yes. Hylo-Forte is preservative-free, so it can be used with soft and rigid (hard) contact lenses while they are in your eyes.
What is the difference between Hylo-Forte and Hylo-Tear?
Both contain sodium hyaluronate. Hylo-Tear has 1 mg/ml for mild to moderate dry eye; Hylo-Forte has 2 mg/ml, which forms a longer-lasting lubricating film for more severe or persistent dry eye.
Is Hylo-Forte preservative free?
Yes. Hylo-Forte is free from both preservatives and phosphates. The COMOD pump bottle keeps the drops sterile without needing preservatives, which makes it gentler for long-term use and sensitive eyes.
Does Hylo-Forte need to be kept in the fridge?
No. Hylo-Forte should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Some people like the soothing feel of chilled drops, but refrigeration is not required.
Can I use Hylo-Forte after eye surgery?
Yes — Hylo-Forte is often recommended to lubricate the eye after procedures such as cataract or laser surgery. Follow the specific advice of your surgeon or optician about when to start and how often to use it.
Is Hylo-Forte a medicine?
No. Hylo-Forte is a CE-marked medical device, not a medicine, so there is no questionnaire or prescription needed — anyone can buy it. It works physically by lubricating the eye surface rather than pharmacologically.
