Description
Preservative-free ophthalmic ointment that contains dexpanthenol, as well as vitamin A and vitamin E.
It is used for long-term improvement of the tear film and intensive protection of the ocular surface. Its cell-protective properties allow for normal re-epithelialization when it is compromised by dryness.
Thanks to its high viscosity properties, Kerato VitA ophthalmic ointment covers the surface of the eye like a film, stabilizes the tear film, and protects the eye from dryness.
Thanks to its very soft and elastic consistency, Kerato VitA spreads very well over the ocular surface. The eyelids glide easily over the cornea and conjunctiva.
Kerato VitA provides long-lasting relief from symptoms of dryness, inflammation, and mild irritation, especially:
- for dry eyes;
- in environmental stress;
- in cases of fatigue and visual stress caused by prolonged vision;
- in cases of mechanical stress.

Directions for use
Wash your hands thoroughly every time before using Kerato VitA.
Before first use, break the security seal by unscrewing the protective cap counter-clockwise and remove the security seal film before use.
Hold the tube as vertically as possible, with the opening facing downwards, above the eye. Avoid any contact of the tube tip with fingers and the eye.
Recline your head slightly backward and gently pull down the lower eyelid with your free hand. Gently squeeze the tube and apply approximately 0.5 cm of ointment into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye. Slowly close your eyes and move your eyeballs in every direction, so that Kerato VitA can spread evenly over the surface of the eyes. After use, close the tube with the protective cap.
Be careful not to touch the tip of the tube. Avoid bending or rolling the tube to avoid damaging it.

Kerato VitA is generally used 3 times a day for long-term improvement of the tear film and intensive protection of the ocular surface.
It is recommended to apply the ointment in the evening before going to bed, if possible, so that it can have an intensive and lasting effect on irritated eyes. The application should be continued for a period of at least 30 days.
The ophthalmologist should determine the frequency and duration of application. If symptoms persist after this period, consult your ophthalmologist again.
In case of another local eye treatment, consult your ophthalmologist. In general, about 30 minutes should pass between the two applications. Kerato VitA should be applied after other products.
