Viskyal is specially formulated to provide essential hydration and lubrication for your pet’s eyes.

In cases of dry eye caused by insufficient tear production or dry keratoconjunctivitis, Viskyal can provide relief by hydrating and lubricating the eye.
The use of Viskyal must always be supervised and recommended by a veterinarian. Dry eye and other eye problems can have various causes, and a professional diagnosis is essential to determine the best treatment approach. Your veterinarian will be able to prescribe Viskyal based on your pet’s specific needs and eye condition.
Viskyal is a versatile lubricating eye drop that can be used in a variety of situations and for various eye conditions. It is recommended for conditions involving conjunctival or corneal irritation, such as conjunctivitis and keratitis. In addition, it can be used to manage ocular reactivity and optimize the eye’s potential for recovery following eye injuries or infections. Viskyal also enhances responsiveness to complementary medical treatments, such as therapeutic eye drops.
Viskyal plays an essential role in restoring the tear film on the surface of the eye. It improves tear retention on the cornea, which is crucial for maintaining clear vision and eye comfort. In addition, these eye drops reduce friction between the eyelids and the surface of the eyeball, which can be beneficial in cases of eye irritation.
In cases of corneal ulcers or other eye injuries, Viskyal facilitates the healing process by keeping the eye’s surface hydrated and providing an environment conducive to healing. It also helps compensate for the mucus deficiency associated with inflammation in cases of conjunctivitis, thereby promoting symptom relief.
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is a common eye condition in dogs and cats. Viskyal can be a valuable tool for improving hydration in cases of KCS, helping to relieve symptoms of dry eye and improve the animal’s comfort.
