Question 1

What are the exact ingredients? I see some listed on the box in the photo but what is the percentage of each ingredient?

Accepted Answer

Hello! OPTASE Hylo Night contains the following ingredients:

Active: White Petrolatum (90%), Lanolin (6.9%), Light mineral oil (1.4%)
Inactive: Retinol palmitate (Vitamin A), [may contain peanut oil]

Thanks for the question!

Question 2

How does this compare to Hycosan Nighttime?

Accepted Answer

The products are very similar however I find hycosan to have a smoother consistency and to stay in my eyes better overnight. I believe both have vitamin A, good for eyes. I have severe dry eye and pay a lot of attention to night products.  I rate hycosan as first and hylo second. I have consulted on both with docs and was told both are good and to use what feels best to me.

Question 3

Is this the same as hylo night previously named vita pos a?

Accepted Answer

VitA-POS, Hylo Night, and Hycosan Night all appear to be the same product in different packaging. SCOPE partnered with Ursapharm in May 2021 (see press release on Ursapharm website). AFT, which originally made VitA-POS, appears to have given international rights to sell VitA-POS to Ursapharm under the name Hycosan Night as VitA-POS only appears under this name in Australia and New Zealand through AFT Pharmaceuticals. Not sure why Ursapharm and SCOPE who are in partnership together are selling the same product in the USA in different packaging for different price points. It seems unethical frankly.

Question 4

I am sold on this product but need specific advice on the best way to apply it. Eyes open or closed? Is there a video?

Accepted Answer

Apply before going to bed. Keep your eyes open. Pull down your lower eye lid. Squeeze out about a quarter inch of product into the lower lid area. Close your eye. Repeat second eye. Open and close eyes a close and open eyes a couple of times to spread it around in the eyes. In the morning use Refresh Plus eye drops to wet eyes and clear vision.
