Product Overview
Hycosan Shield 3ml
Hycosan® Shield Preservative-Free Eye Drops
Water-Free Eye Hydration with 100% Perfluorohexyloctane
Hycosan® Shield is a preservative-free, water-free eye drop formulated with 100% Perfluorohexyloctane (PFO). Its innovative single-ingredient formulation is designed to support the natural tear film by replenishing the lipid layer and helping reduce tear evaporation.
Unlike conventional water-based eye drops, Hycosan® Shield uses Perfluorohexyloctane, a molecule with very low surface tension that spreads rapidly across the eye surface to create a smooth protective lipid layer while maintaining clear vision.
The formula contains no water, preservatives, phosphates, alcohol, or emulsifiers, making it a simple formulation suitable for everyday eye care. The sterile multi-dose bottle remains usable for up to 6 months after opening and delivers approximately 280 drops.

Why Choose Hycosan® Shield?
Modern lifestyles expose our eyes to digital screens, air-conditioned environments, travel, heating, and dry climates that can affect the natural tear film.
Hycosan® Shield provides a unique water-free approach to eye lubrication by using only Perfluorohexyloctane, allowing the solution to spread rapidly over the eye surface and support the tear film's protective lipid layer.
Its preservative-free and phosphate-free formulation makes it an excellent choice for people looking for a simple ingredient profile without unnecessary additives.
Who Is It For?
Hycosan® Shield is designed for adults looking for preservative-free eye lubrication as part of their everyday eye care routine.
It may be suitable for people who:
- Spend long hours using computers or digital devices
- Work in air-conditioned or heated environments
- Travel frequently by plane
- Prefer water-free eye drops
- Want preservative-free eye care
- Prefer a simple single-ingredient formulation
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
How It Works
The surface of the eye is naturally protected by a thin layer of tears known as the tear film, which lubricates, nourishes, and protects the eye.
The tear film includes an outer lipid layer that helps slow moisture loss through evaporation.
Hycosan® Shield contains 100% Perfluorohexyloctane, a lipophilic molecule with exceptionally low surface tension.
Perfluorohexyloctane
Perfluorohexyloctane spreads rapidly across the eye surface to replenish the tear film's lipid layer, helping support tear film stability while reducing moisture loss caused by evaporation.
Because the ingredient has a refractive index similar to natural tears, it spreads evenly with minimal impact on vision after application.
