How it works
SOLINE-6 contains hypertonic sodium chloride in an ophthalmic ointment formulation. The increased salt concentration creates an osmotic gradient that promotes movement of excess fluid out of swollen corneal tissue. This can help reduce corneal edema and improve corneal clarity and visual comfort.

Research and clinical evidence
Hypertonic sodium chloride is widely used in ophthalmology as an osmotic treatment for corneal edema. Clinical research involving hypertonic ophthalmic sodium chloride solutions and ointments indicates that increasing the osmotic concentration at the ocular surface can promote removal of excess fluid from the cornea and reduce corneal swelling.
Hypertonic ophthalmic preparations have been studied particularly in conditions involving impaired corneal endothelial function, including some cases of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, as well as postoperative corneal edema. The clinical response depends on the underlying cause and severity of the edema.
The available evidence primarily concerns hypertonic ophthalmic sodium chloride preparations as a therapeutic class and does not necessarily represent clinical trials conducted specifically with the SOLINE-6 brand.
SOLINE-6 is used to help reduce corneal edema associated with conditions that cause excessive fluid accumulation within the corneal tissue.
Hypertonic sodium chloride acts osmotically, promoting movement of excess fluid out of the cornea and helping reduce swelling. Reduction of corneal edema may improve corneal transparency and associated visual symptoms
The ophthalmic ointment is applied topically by placing a small amount into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye. The frequency and duration of treatment depend on the underlying cause of corneal edema and should be determined by an ophthalmologist or according to the official instructions for the specific product. Temporary blurred vision may occur after application; patients should wait until vision becomes clear before driving or operating machinery.
If severe eye pain, sudden vision deterioration, or persistent irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek ophthalmic medical attention.
