CYCLISIS PF EYE DROPS 5 ML

How CYCLISIS PF EYE DROPS 5 ML Works

• CYCLISIS PF EYE DROPS 5 ML contains Cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant, as its active ingredient. It is primarily used to treat chronic dry eye disease (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) by increasing tear production in patients whose tear production is suppressed due to ocular inflammation. Here’s how it works:
• **Targeting Inflammation:** The underlying cause of chronic dry eye is often inflammation of the lacrimal glands (the glands that produce tears) and the ocular surface. Cyclosporine works by suppressing this inflammation. It inhibits the activation of T-cells, which are immune cells that play a key role in the inflammatory process. By reducing T-cell activity, CYCLISIS PF EYE DROPS helps to decrease the levels of inflammatory mediators (such as cytokines) in the tear film and ocular tissues.
• **Increasing Tear Production:** By reducing inflammation, Cyclosporine allows the lacrimal glands to function more effectively. This leads to an increase in natural tear production. The increased tear volume helps to lubricate the eye, reduce dryness, and alleviate associated symptoms such as burning, stinging, itching, and a gritty sensation.
• **Protecting the Ocular Surface:** Adequate tear production is essential for maintaining the health of the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) and conjunctiva (the membrane lining the eyelids and covering the white part of the eye). Tears provide lubrication, deliver nutrients, and wash away debris and pathogens. By improving tear production and reducing inflammation, CYCLISIS PF EYE DROPS helps to protect the ocular surface from damage and further irritation.
• **Preservative-Free Formula:** The 'PF' in CYCLISIS PF EYE DROPS stands for 'Preservative-Free'. This is significant because preservatives, while intended to prevent contamination, can sometimes cause further irritation and toxicity to the ocular surface, especially with long-term use. The preservative-free formulation minimizes the risk of these side effects, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive eyes or those who require long-term treatment.
• In summary, CYCLISIS PF EYE DROPS works by targeting the underlying inflammation that causes dry eye, thereby increasing natural tear production and protecting the ocular surface. This leads to improved lubrication, reduced discomfort, and better overall eye health.
