Optase Allergy Eye Drops – A Unique Formulation for Hayfever and Allergic Symptoms Such as Red, Itchy & Watery Eyes – 20 Single 0.5ml Doses

Product Information

OPTASE® Allergy Eye Drops contain a natural molecule called Ectoin which helps both to flush allergens from the eye and protect from harmful allergens entering the tear film. According to GPs, they take around four to five days to work properly; but for this to happen, they need to be taken daily. So, taking one when your symptoms crop up isn’t as effective. It's important to know the cause of red eyes before self-medicating. Koetting said that "if someone has red eyes it is typically a symptom of something else, such as more severe dry eye disease and is a good idea to see an eye care professional, especially if there is any sudden pain with it." Hay fever is usually worse between late March and September, especially when it's warm, humid and windy. This is when the pollen count is at its highest. What are my treatment options? Tolerance to pollen varies from season to season, person to person. We don’t know why some people produce antibodies against pollen and others don’t, but it is now more common to produce them than not. Scientists are speculating that it’s down to environmental changes. Can I use hay fever eye drops as well as a tablet?

Sodium cromoglicate is poorly absorbed. When multiple doses of sodium cromoglicate ophthalmic solution are instilled into normal rabbit eyes, less than 0.07% of the administered dose of sodium cromoglicate is absorbed into the systemic circulation (presumably by way of the eye, nasal passages, buccal cavity and gastrointestinal tract). Trace amounts (less than 0.01%) of the sodium cromoglicate does penetrate into the aqueous humour and clearance from this chamber is virtually complete within 24 hours after treatment is stopped. Please note that the prices shown are subject to change at short notice. Courier costs change frequently. This is beyond our control. In vitro and in vivo animal studies have shown that sodium cromoglicate inhibits the degranulation of sensitised mast cells which occurs after exposure to specific antigens. Sodium cromoglicate acts by inhibiting the release of histamine and various membrane derived mediators from the mast cell.Seasonal allergies are also thought to be relieved by certain herbal teas. If you prefer something less medicinal, why not try some of these soothing teas:

Delays also often occur at Easter because the depots are shut on Easter Monday & Good Friday and hence post builds up. The Optase Hylo Night Dry Eye Ointment is a favorite of Koetting, who recommends this preservative-free drop to patients with certain sleeping conditions. "For those who have a CPAP machine or may sleep with eyes partially open, this ointment in particular is good because it has Vitamin A to help heal the front surface," she said. One in five people suffers from hay fever. It’s extremely common. If you’ve got the sniffles or itchy eyes this summer, it’s important to find the right treatment.

Dr. John Sheppard, an ophthalmologist and Professor of Ophthalmology at Eastern Virginia Medical School agrees and advises to avoid vasoconstrictor eye drops with naphazoline, a decongestant that is usually found in OTC eye drops like Visine or Clear Eyes. This ingredient is also known to restrict blood flow which can cause high blood pressure. In some cases you may need steroids or other medicated treatments if OTC eye drops are not doing their job. Active substance: 20 mg sodium cromoglicate (2.0% w/v), (one drop contains 0.7mg sodium cromoglicate).
