Cationorm (cationic nanoemulsion) is a new preservative-free, hydrating and lubricating emulsion which protects the eye surface, reducing the discomfort and irritation of persistent dry eye caused by prolonged use of contact lenses, or environmental conditions.1
Cationorm’s triple action repairs the lipid layer to reduce evaporation, lubricate and stabilise the tear film; restore the balance of moisture in the muco-aqueous layer of the tear film; and heal the ocular surface, providing long-lasting protection.2-5
Cationorm is suitable for use with contact lenses and is conveniently delivered via a preservative-free multidose bottle or single dose ampoules.6 Cationorm can be administered as one drop, up to four times daily, in the affected eye(s).6
Patients should be instructed to always read the instructions for use, and if symptoms persist, to talk to their health professional.
