I-DEFENCE is a long-lasting, lubricating ointment that delivers superior moisturizing and protection of the ocular surface.

Containing 0.40% sodium hyaluronate, I-DEFENCE formulation is extremely effective at providing maximum, long-lasting relief of dry eye symptoms and is well tolerated by the patient.

The unique viscous properties of I-DEFENCE enable a prolonged contact-time with the ocular surface. This hydrating ointment provides soothing relief of dry eye symptoms, such as soreness, irritation or a gritty sensation on the eyes and acts as a barrier against moisture loss. It can be used during surgical procedures and is ideal for patients that suffer from nocturnal lagophthalmos. Upon application, the patient may experience a foreign body sensation which will pass after several blinks. If used during the day, it is recommended that the patient does not drive a car or operate heavy machinery, as their vision may be blurry due to the consistency of the ointment. I-DEFENCE is most effective when used at night while the patient is asleep, which allows the ointment to remain on the cornea longer.

Do not use I-DEFENCE with contact lenses.

I-DEFENCE® comes in a sterile tube. In order to keep the tip of the tube and the contents sterile, it is recommended that I-DEFENCE® be dropped into the eye, without touching the cornea or surrounding tissues.
