VitA Night Ophthalmic Ointment 5 g

What is VitA Night ointment used for?

VitA Nuit is an ophthalmic ointment specially formulated to improve the tear film and protect the surface of the eye. This ointment is ideal for people suffering from dry eyes who are looking for a treatment to improve their visual comfort. However, it’s important to note that VitA Nuit should not be applied while wearing contact lenses.

If you suffer from dry eyes, you know just how bothersome it can be. Fortunately, VitA Nuit ophthalmic ointment has been specially designed to relieve symptoms and form a protective film on the surface of the eye. It is phosphate-free, ensuring safe and effective use. In fact, the tear film is a layer of tears that normally covers the cornea, protecting and moisturizing it. However, when tear production is insufficient or the tear film evaporates too quickly, this can lead to painful sensations such as itching or stinging. There are many causes of this, ranging from air conditioning to sun exposure.

By using VitA Nuit at night, you can manage dry eyes and prevent the formation of crusts and deposits on the eyelashes and along the edges of the eyelids, as well as sticky eyelids upon waking. Finally, this ointment also prevents eye irritation and can be used in conjunction with daytime treatments for dry eyes. 

What are the possible causes of dry eyes?

Dry eye, also known as dry eye syndrome, is a common condition characterized by insufficient tear production or poor tear quality. This condition can cause burning, stinging, itching, redness, and blurred vision. Here are some of the most common causes of dry eye:

1. Age: As we age, tear production naturally decreases, leading to a greater susceptibility to dry eye.
2. Gender: Women are generally more prone to dry eye due to hormonal fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy, while using oral contraceptives, and during menopause.
3. Medications: Certain medications, such as antihistamines, antidepressants, beta-blockers, and diuretics, can reduce tear production.
4. Medical conditions: Autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus can affect the tear glands and cause dry eye. Other conditions, such as diabetes and thyroid disorders, can also contribute to this condition.
5. Environment: A dry, windy, or smoky environment can cause tears to evaporate quickly, leading to dry eyes. Spending long periods of time looking at a computer screen or smartphone can also make the condition worse.
6. Eyelid problems: Certain conditions affecting the eyelids, such as blepharitis, can disrupt the even distribution of tears across the surface of the eye, causing dryness.
7. Wearing contact lenses: Wearing contact lenses for long periods of time can irritate the surface of the eye and reduce the amount of tears produced.

How should this ophthalmic ointment be used?

To apply the ointment, unscrew the cap and tilt your head back slightly. Then, gently pull down on your lower eyelid with a finger. Hold the tube upright above the eye with your other hand and apply light pressure to squeeze a small amount of ointment into the space between the eye and the eyelid. Then, slowly close your eyes and blink normally. After use, carefully close the tube.

What are the side effects and contraindications?

• Do not swallow
• It is important to use VitA Nuit only when the tube is intact and unopened before first use.
• In addition, this medication should not be used at the same time as other ophthalmic medications.
• If concurrent treatment is necessary, it is recommended to apply VitA Nuit 30 minutes after applying the other medication.
• If application during the day is necessary, keep in mind that the high fat concentration in VitA Nuit may cause temporary visual disturbances, which could make it dangerous to drive, operate machinery, or perform work without protective gear.
• The contents of one tube of VitA Nuit are intended for use by a single person only and must not be used in cases of known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients.
• It is also not recommended to use VitA Nuit immediately after eye surgery or an acute eye injury, as no clinical studies are available to assess the safety of using this medication in these situations.
