CALMO® Eye Spray
Calmo Eye Spray stabilizes the lipid layer of the tear film, regulates and improves the humidification of the eye surface and the eyelids. It should be used in environment-related disorders such as dry eyes, strained eyelids, foreign body sensation, and a burning and itching sensation in the eyes. The liposomes and pro-vitamin B5 (dexpanthenol) in CALMO® Eye Spray moisturize the eye area and provide preventative protection for the skin.
CALMO Eye Spray:
- Offers immediate comfort and humidification of dry eyes and stabilizes the lipid layer of the tear film when sprayed on the closed eye.
- Is preservative free and usually very well tolerated.
- Contains liposomes and dexpanthenol (pro-vitamin B5), which moisturize the eye area and provide preventative protection for the skin.
How does it work?
CALMO Eye Spray addresses one of the root causes of dry eye. The liposomes in CALMO Eye Spray consist of lipids very similar to those which occur in your own tear film. The lipid layer protects the tears from evaporation and prevents tears from running over the lid margin. A lack of these lipids results in an increased evaporation of tears. Once sprayed upon the closed eyes, the lipids contained in the spray mix with lipids produced by the Meibomian glands at the lid margin.
More About its mechanism of action
Upon opening the eye, this optimized lipid mix gets spread onto the tear film and thus stabilizes it. The lipid layer of the tear film is very thin, so already a small amount of CALMO Eye Spray is sufficient to repair and stabilize that lipid layer. After only a few minutes the unpleasant sensations like burning, itching and the sometimes gritty sensation (like sand in your eyes) disappear. With every subsequent blink, the tear film on the eye surface will once more be supplied with this mix of physiological lipids and liposomes contained in the spray and thus be stabilized. The effect of 1 – 2 sprays will work for approximately 4 hours.
CALMO Eye Spray:
- Contains dexpanthenol (also known as pro vitamin B5), vitamin A – palmitate, vitamin E, soy lecithin, sodium chloride, ethanol and purified water.
- Stabilizes the lipid layer of the tear film and protects the eyes against the excessive evaporation of tears.
- Is preservative free and usually very well tolerated.
Is it suitable for contact lens wearers?
Yes, CALMO® Eye Spray makes wearing contact lenses much more comfortable.
Can it be used after surgery?
Any eye surgery can increase the risk of problems with post-surgery dryness. Lubrication with artificial tears and the use of a liposome-based eye spray like CALMO have both proved their applicability for the treatment of dry eye symptoms after refractive and cataract surgery.
