What are eye drops?
Eye drops are liquid solutions designed for application directly onto the surface of the eyes, administered a few drops at a time. They contain various ingredients, which can range from medications to lubricants, depending on the intended use.
What are eye drops used for?
Eye drops are used for several purposes, including treating infections and alleviating dryness. Over-the-counter eye drops may lubricate the eyes, reduce redness, and treat minor irritations, while prescription eye drops may be required for infections and more serious conditions.
It’s important to use drops for the eyes correctly and under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
What are the different types of eye drops?
Eye drops are specialised for different eye conditions. Lubricating drops, or artificial tears, moisten dry eyes and may provide temporary relief from irritation. Anti-redness drops contain vasoconstrictors to diminish redness, often for cosmetic purposes. Allergy eye drops, with antihistamines, may alleviate symptoms like itchiness and swelling.
Antibiotic eye drops treat bacterial infections such as conjunctivitis. Other types of eye drops include glaucoma eye drops and dilating eye drops. Always consult a healthcare professional before using eye drops.
What are the side effects of eye drops?
Eye drops may cause various side effects, which depend on the specific type of eye drops used and the individual’s response. Common side effects include temporary burning or stinging upon application. Some drops may cause blurred vision or a metallic taste in the mouth.
More serious side effects may be associated with using eye drops, so it’s important to discuss these with a healthcare professional.
