Corneregel Eye Gel 50 mg/g Tube 5 g – Ophthalmic Gel with Dexpanthenol

Corneregel Eye Gel 50 mg/g (Tube 5 g) is a highly effective ophthalmic gel formulated to support the regeneration and healing of the eye’s surface, particularly the cornea and conjunctiva. The active ingredient, dexpanthenol (panthenol), is a derivative of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) that plays a key role in cell regeneration and tissue repair, making this product ideal for relieving dryness, irritation, minor injuries and surface damage of the eye.

This gel forms a protective, moisturizing layer on the eye surface that helps to soothe and hydrate the cornea, supporting the eye’s natural repair processes. Its viscous formulation allows the active ingredient to remain in contact with the eye longer than traditional eye drops, offering prolonged relief and improved comfort.

How Corneregel Works

The main active component in Corneregel is dexpanthenol. Once applied to the ocular surface, dexpanthenol is converted within cells into pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) — a crucial nutrient in coenzyme A synthesis and metabolic processes that energize tissue repair and regeneration. In the eye, this helps:

• Accelerate corneal and conjunctival healing after injury or irritation.

• Support the regeneration of epithelial cells, improving the integrity of the eye surface.

• Maintain hydration and comfort by forming a protective film that keeps the eye moist.

• Relieve sensations of dryness, burning and foreign-body feeling on the ocular surface.

Because the gel’s formulation increases contact time, dexpanthenol is more effective at supporting surface repair than many liquid drops.

Indications – When to Use Corneregel Eye Gel

Corneregel is suitable for a variety of non-inflammatory corneal and conjunctival surface conditions, including:

• Non-inflammatory keratopathies, such as corneal dystrophy and degeneration.

• Recurrent corneal erosions and minor erosive defects of the epithelium.

• Minor corneal surface injuries caused by contact lenses, foreign bodies or rubbing.

• Chemical or thermal burns to the eye surface.

• Pre- and post-operative protection and healing support.

• Adjunctive therapy in bacterial, viral or fungal corneal infections (used together with specific antimicrobial eye medication).

• Irritation and dryness due to environmental exposure, screen strain or tear film alterations.

This product helps maintain eye comfort and protect the surface when physiological defense and repair mechanisms are strained.

Directions for Use

Corneregel should be applied following your healthcare provider’s instructions. General guidelines include:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly.

2. Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.

3. Apply one drop of the gel into the affected eye(s), taking care not to touch the eye with the tube tip.

4. Blink a few times to spread the gel over the ocular surface.

5. Use up to 4 times daily and once before bedtime, or as directed.

Important: Remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes after instillation before reinserting them, as the gel and lens materials may not be compatible.

Safety and Precautions

While Corneregel is generally well tolerated, these precautions should be observed:

• For external eye use only. Do not swallow and avoid contact with other body areas.

• Allergic sensitivity: Discontinue use if hypersensitivity to dexpanthenol or any excipients (like cetrimide or carbomer) occurs.

• Irritation risks: Long-term use may cause irritation, burning or redness, particularly due to preservatives such as cetrimide.

• Visual impairment: Temporary blur or reduced visual clarity may occur after application — refrain from driving or operating machinery until vision clears.

• Children and pregnancy: Consult a healthcare provider before use in children or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Preservative caution: Prolonged frequent use in chronic dry eye may increase irritation due to preservative content.

Benefits and Key Features

• Eye surface regeneration: Helps accelerate healing of the cornea and conjunctiva.

• Moisturizing protection: Gel forms a protective layer that supports hydration and comfort.

• Broad supportive use: Suitable for irritation, minor injury, dryness and post-operative care.

• Convenient tube: Easy to apply with precise dosing.

Corneregel Eye Gel is often recommended as part of a comprehensive ocular surface care regimen, particularly for individuals with frequent dryness, lens discomfort or minor surface injury.

Storage and Handling

Store Corneregel in a cool, dry place below 25 °C, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children. After opening, use within the period specified by the manufacturer and discard if beyond that timeframe.
