What do red eye drops do?

Eye drops are used to treat eye diseases. If used correctly, they generally do not cause harm to people. Eye drops can treat eye infections, reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the eyes, or relieve dry and painful eyes. At the same time, eye drops also have many side effects. There are different types of eye drops, including red eye drops and blue eye drops. Today, I will introduce red eye drops.

Eye drops are medicines for treating eye diseases. They have many different ingredients, such as steroids, antibiotics, antihistamines,

Beta blockers, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, etc. Generally, eye drops have a small amount of preservatives added to them for long-term preservation, and they will not cause any harm to the human body under normal use. However, if eye drops containing preservatives are used for a long time, it is more likely to cause corneal injury and symptoms such as eye congestion and photophobia.

Different eye drops have their own uses, such as treating eye infections, reducing eye pressure, reducing inflammation and pain, or soothing dry eyes. Like other medicines, many eye drops have some degree of side effects. Before using any medication, be sure to read the instructions on the medication, understand the name of the medication, make sure you are using normal eye drops, and understand the ingredients, usage, dosage, precautions, effective period, side effects, contraindications, etc. If you have any questions, do not use it and only use it after consulting a doctor.

If you have a history of drug allergies, are pregnant, or are taking other medications, you should inform your doctor first. In addition, any drug may cause allergies, even preservatives in over-the-counter eye drops may cause allergies. If itching, swelling, or redness around the eyes occurs, stop using the eye drops and see a doctor.

The above are some aspects of red eye drops. When buying eye drops, you should tell your doctor about your eye problems. Do not use them casually. Read the instructions carefully or use them according to the doctor's advice. Generally, they should be used up within one month. If any adverse reactions occur in the eyes, stop taking the medicine in time and seek help from a doctor. Do not use eye drops for a long time as it is easy to suffer from dry eyes.
