Oculenis BioHAnce Ocular Repair Gel is a prescription eye gel for dogs and cats built on BioHAnce crosslinked hyaluronic acid technology. The gel adheres to the ocular surface longer than standard hyaluronic acid drops, helping protect, hydrate, and support healing of eye injuries, surgical sites, and irritated eyes.
Key facts
- Active technology: BioHAnce crosslinked hyaluronic acid
- Species: dogs and cats
- Available sizes: 3 mL bottle and 10 mL (XL) bottle
- Form: sterile ocular gel drops
- Typical uses: support of healing after eye injuries or ophthalmic surgery, and protection and hydration of dry or irritated eyes
- Prescription: yes — dispensed with veterinary authorization
How to use
Carefully remove the cap and place 1 to 2 drops directly onto the affected eye; the natural movement of the eyelids spreads the gel across the eye's surface. Apply a minimum of twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian, until the eye has healed. To avoid contamination, do not touch the bottle tip to the eye or any other surface, and replace the cap securely after each use.
Safety information
Use only as directed by your prescribing veterinarian, and give any concurrent medications (such as antibiotic eye drops) exactly as prescribed. If redness, squinting, or discharge worsens — or the eye does not improve on schedule — contact your veterinarian promptly, as eye conditions can progress quickly. Store according to label directions.
Frequently asked questions
What is BioHAnce crosslinked hyaluronic acid?
It is hyaluronic acid whose molecules are chemically linked into a gel network, so it forms a longer-lasting protective layer on the eye that supports the eye's natural healing.
How is Oculenis different from regular lubricating eye drops?
Standard drops wash away quickly with blinking and tears; the crosslinked gel stays on the ocular surface longer, providing extended hydration and protection between applications.
How often should I apply Oculenis?
At least twice daily until the eye injury has healed, or on the schedule your veterinarian recommends for your pet's specific condition.
Is a prescription required for Oculenis?
Yes. It is dispensed with veterinary authorization, and your pet should have been examined by a veterinarian within the past 12 months.
Can Oculenis be used with other eye medications?
It is often prescribed alongside other ophthalmic treatments. Ask your veterinarian about the correct order and spacing between different eye drops.
