Opticon A Eye Drop

Opticon A Eye Drop, made by Optimus Pharma, is an antihistamine and decongestant eye drop. Its active ingredient is Naphazoline + Pheniramine, and it is used for allergic conjunctivitis, hay fever eye symptoms, red eyes and itchy eyes.

Uses of Opticon A Eye Drop

Opticon A Eye Drop is used for short-term relief of red, itchy and watery eyes caused by allergies such as hay fever, dust, pollen or pet dander. It can also ease minor eye irritation and redness. It is meant for occasional use over a few days and is not a treatment for eye infections, eye injuries or painful red eyes, which need to be checked by a doctor.

How Opticon A Eye Drop works

Naphazoline narrows the small blood vessels on the surface of the eye, which quickly reduces redness and swelling. Pheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine, the chemical released during an allergic reaction that causes itching and watering.

Possible side effects

Opticon A Eye Drop is usually well tolerated. Mild effects that may occur include:

• Brief stinging or burning on application
• Temporarily blurred vision
• Enlarged pupils
• Eye dryness or irritation
• Rebound redness after stopping

Stop using the drops and see a doctor urgently if you develop eye pain, sudden changes in vision, a severe headache with eye redness, or a fast or irregular heartbeat.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use Opticon A Eye Drop if you have narrow-angle glaucoma, as it can raise eye pressure.
• Tell your doctor if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, an overactive thyroid or difficulty passing urine.
• Do not use it for more than a few days at a time, because prolonged use can lead to rebound redness.
• Remove soft contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
• These drops are not suitable for young children, and should only be used in pregnancy or breastfeeding on a doctor’s advice.
