ACUAISS Eye Drops

What is ACUAISS

ACUAISS Eye Drops is a sterile ophthalmic solution primarily used to relieve dry eye symptoms and maintain ocular surface hydration. Each vial contains 0.35 ml of solution with the active ingredient Sodium hyaluronate, packaged in a set of 20 single-dose units.

• Active Ingredient: Sodium hyaluronate – a naturally occurring polymer with excellent water retention properties.
• Uses: Designed to lubricate the eyes, alleviate discomfort, and support corneal healing in conditions like dry eye syndrome, irritation from contact lenses, or environmental stressors (wind, smoke, screen exposure).
• Form: Preservative-free single-use vials ideal for sensitive eyes and long-term use.
• Target Patients: Suitable for individuals experiencing ocular dryness due to aging, medical treatments, autoimmune disorders, or digital eye strain.

ACUAISS provides immediate and lasting moisture, mimicking natural tears and enhancing eye comfort throughout the day. It is especially suitable for patients needing frequent daily instillation.

How to use ACUAISS

Using ACUAISS Eye Drops correctly ensures maximum relief and protection of the ocular surface. The single-dose vial format ensures hygiene and reduces contamination risk.

• Step-by-step instructions:
• Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
• Twist open one vial (do not touch the dropper tip).
• Lean your head back or lie down, gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a pocket.
• Instill 1-2 drops into the affected eye(s) as needed.
• Blink a few times to spread the solution evenly over the eye surface.
• Discard the vial immediately after use, even if solution remains.
• Frequency: Use 3–4 times daily or as directed by an ophthalmologist. Safe for frequent use due to its preservative-free formula.
• Contact Lens Users: Can be used before and after wearing lenses. If used while wearing lenses, make sure the product is compatible (consult your eye care provider).

Consistency is key—regular use helps maintain hydration, especially in chronic dry eye conditions.

Mode of Action ACUAISS

ACUAISS Eye Drops work by leveraging the hydrating and protective properties of Sodium hyaluronate, a key molecule found naturally in the human eye and connective tissue.

• Hydration: Sodium hyaluronate binds water molecules, forming a moisturizing layer over the corneal surface, which relieves dryness and irritation.
• Viscoelasticity: Its viscoelastic nature allows the drop to remain longer on the ocular surface, improving lubrication and reducing the need for frequent reapplication.
• Ocular Surface Protection: Forms a protective barrier that defends against environmental aggressors like wind, dust, and pollutants.
• Wound Healing: Promotes re-epithelialization in micro-damages of the cornea and conjunctiva due to its cell-proliferation support and anti-inflammatory effects.

This action replicates natural tear film function, enhancing comfort and visual clarity. It does not interfere with vision, making it suitable for use during daily activities.

ACUAISS Interactions ACUAISS

ACUAISS is generally well-tolerated and exhibits a low risk of interactions due to its non-pharmacologic, topical mode of action. However, when used alongside other eye medications, the following considerations should be taken into account:

• Other Ophthalmic Medications:
• Wait at least 5–10 minutes between applying ACUAISS and any medicated eye drops (e.g., antibiotics, steroids).
• ACUAISS should be applied last to ensure prolonged contact with the ocular surface.
• Contact Lens Solutions:
• Compatible with most contact lens types. However, do not mix directly with lens cleaning solutions.
• No Known Systemic Drug Interactions: Since ACUAISS is not absorbed into the bloodstream, it does not interfere with oral or systemic medications.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all eye products you're using to avoid potential conflicts or overuse.

Dosage of ACUAISS

The appropriate dosage of ACUAISS Eye Drops depends on the severity of symptoms and individual patient needs. Being non-medicated and preservative-free, it allows flexible use.

• Standard Dosage: Instill 1–2 drops into each affected eye up to 4 times daily.
• Severe Dryness: In cases of chronic dry eye or Sjögren’s syndrome, dosing may increase up to every 2 hours as needed.
• Post-Surgical Care: For post-operative dryness (e.g., LASIK), follow physician instructions—often 3–6 times/day.
• Contact Lens Wearers: Instill drops before and after wearing lenses. For ongoing dryness during wear, confirm compatibility.
• Children & Elderly: Safe under medical supervision. Use caution with self-administration in children.

Never reuse a single-dose vial. Do not exceed recommended frequency without professional advice.

Possible side effects of ACUAISS

ACUAISS Eye Drops are typically well tolerated due to their preservative-free and biocompatible formula. However, mild and temporary side effects can occasionally occur.

• Common (Usually Mild):
• Temporary blurring of vision immediately after application
• Mild eye stinging or burning
• Sensation of a foreign body in the eye
• Less Common:
• Increased tearing or eye redness
• Allergic reaction to Sodium hyaluronate (rare)
• Serious Reactions (Extremely Rare):
• Severe itching, swelling, or pain – may indicate hypersensitivity

If any symptoms persist, worsen, or appear severe, discontinue use and consult an eye care professional promptly.

ACUAISS Contraindications ACUAISS

Although ACUAISS is a safe, non-medicated eye drop, it is not suitable in all situations. Contraindications are rare but should be acknowledged to avoid complications.

• Known Hypersensitivity: Contraindicated in individuals with a known allergy to Sodium hyaluronate or any component of the formulation.
• Infected Eyes: Do not use in the presence of active ocular infection (e.g., conjunctivitis) unless approved by a physician.
• Severe Eye Injury or Surgery: Post-surgical use should be supervised by a healthcare provider to avoid masking symptoms or interfering with healing.
• Pediatric Use: Should be used under adult supervision in children, especially those under 3 years.

Always consult with an ophthalmologist before starting ACUAISS if you have underlying eye disease, trauma, or are using other eye medications.

Storage of ACUAISS

Proper storage ensures the stability and sterility of ACUAISS Eye Drops. Each unit is designed for single use, so unused portions should not be stored after opening.

• Temperature: Store between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Avoid freezing or excessive heat.
• Protection: Keep vials in their original packaging to protect from light and contamination.
• After Opening: Discard the vial immediately after use. Do not reseal or reuse.
• Out of Reach: Store in a safe place, out of the reach of children or individuals with cognitive impairment.
• Expiry: Check the expiry date before use. Do not use expired vials even if the solution appears clear.

Do not attempt to sterilize or reuse vials. Improper storage can compromise product safety and efficacy.
