Polyfresh SDU – Single Dose Units
Available at Pharmaegy Pharmacy. Use as directed by your doctor.
Intro: Polyfresh SDU (Single Dose Unit) is a preservative-free version of the standard Polyfresh eye drops. Because it contains no preservatives, it is the safest choice for individuals with highly sensitive eyes or those who need to use lubricating drops more than 4-6 times a day. Each small vial is designed for a single application to ensure maximum sterility and freshness.
Indications:
Sensitive Dry Eyes: Ideal for patients who develop redness or irritation from preservatives in standard eye drops.
Post-LASIK & Surgery: The preferred form for recovery after eye surgery to avoid chemical irritation on healing tissue.
Severe/Chronic Dryness: Safe for frequent, long-term use in conditions like Sjogren's Syndrome.
Contact Lens Users: Provides immediate comfort and can be used directly with lenses without causing build-up.
How to Use:
Dosage: 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed.
Application: Twist the tab to open the vial. Use the contents immediately and discard the vial even if some liquid remains. Do not save it for later.
Frequency: Can be used as often as necessary throughout the day.
Crucial Rules:
Single Use Only: Since there are no preservatives, the solution becomes prone to bacterial growth once opened. Never reuse a vial.
Wait Time: If using other eye medications, wait 15 minutes before or after using Polyfresh SDU.
Storage: Keep vials in their original foil pouch to protect them from light.
Generic International Brands: Refresh Plus, Hylo-Comod (SDU), Systane Hydration PF, Vismed Multi.
