Opticrom Hayfever Eye Drops

This medicine works by stopping the release of the natural substances in your eyes that can lead to an allergic reaction.

Signs of an allergic reaction include itchy, watery, red or inflamed eyes and puffy eyelids.

Adults and Children: one or two drops in each eye four times a day. 

• Wash your hands. 
• Before using the medication for the first time, be sure that the tamper-proof seal on the bottle neck is unbroken. A gap between the bottle and the cap is normal for an unopened bottle.

• Squeeze one or two drops inside the lower lid without touching your eye.
• Close your eye.
• Wipe away any excess liquid from the eyes with a clean tissue.
