HYLO FORTE's HYLO® Delivery System keeps the solution sterile without preservatives, and its cushioning formula stays on the eye longer than lightweight drops. That makes it a common choice for more persistent dryness, for contact lens wearers, and for dryness before or after eye surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs HYLO Forte right for me?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA good fit if\u003c\/strong\u003e your dryness is moderate to severe, or lightweight drops wear off too quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA good fit if\u003c\/strong\u003e you wear contact lenses and your eyes feel dry or gritty by the end of the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA good fit if\u003c\/strong\u003e you're preparing for or recovering from eye surgery and your doctor has recommended a preservative-free lubricant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peeqpro.com\/products\/optase-hylo-relief\"\u003eOPTASE HYLO Relief\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e if your symptoms are mild and you want the lightest, no-blur feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peeqpro.com\/products\/optase-dry-eye-intense-drops-0-33-oz\"\u003eOPTASE Dry Eye Intense\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want the thickest drop in the OPTASE line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry when you wake up?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ask your eye doctor about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peeqpro.com\/products\/optase-hylo-night-dry-eye-ointment\"\u003eOPTASE Hylo Night\u003c\/a\u003e ointment for overnight comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreservative-free, so it's gentle enough for frequent daily use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydrates and cushions the eye's surface, protecting against friction from blinking and lens wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreads quickly and evenly with minimal blur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne click, one drop: the bottle releases a single calibrated drop each time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 drops per bottle, usable for up to 6 months after opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContact lens compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash your hands.
