12 best drops for eye redness

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

In ophthalmology there is such a term: “red eye”, and in the fourth year students are given a special lecture on all diseases occurring with this characteristic feature. Of course, the most common cause of red eyes is dry air, eye strain, and only then – banal catarrhal conjunctivitis.

Causes of eye redness

High risk of getting 'red eyes' when staying in a closed, air-conditioned room for long periods of time, when exposed to radiation from computers and monitors. The corneal mucosa loses its protective film, and it becomes more difficult to blink. The conjunctiva and cornea dry out and the eye reddens. In people with an allergic background, red eyes occur mainly during the flowering period, and are a symptom of seasonal allergies.

The next common cause of 'redness' is various drugs. Eyes turn red in patients who take many antihistamines, hypnotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Chronic lack of sleep is a common cause of eye redness. Especially often red in the morning are the eyes of those who watch TV late, at the same time. It is known that prolonged viewing of TV programs or working at a computer leads to the fact that blinking becomes more rare than physiology requires. As a result, tear fluid is lost, redness develops and itching appears.

Finally, people who drink have red eyes due to chronically dilated vessels of the cornea and conjunctiva, and this plethora is a fairly well-known symptom of chronic alcoholism. This is not a harmless symptom: along the way, blood flow into the facial tissues, fed by the external carotid artery, increases, which means that the brain gets less blood.

Smoking and secondhand smoke are very harmful to the eyes, just like chemical exposure to irritating aerosols.

Finally, physical factors in the external environment can also cause eye redness. This is hard water, fog and aerosols, city smog, especially during peak hours.

The current rating of modern local drugs in drops for redness of the eyes includes several groups of funds. These are antiallergic drops, moisturizers, vasoconstrictors and other drugs. Prices are given for the spring of 2019 for pharmacies of all types of ownership as the average price for this drug.

Best vasoconstrictor eye drops

Eye drops with the effect of vasoconstriction are widely used in ophthalmology. Their main task is to reduce capillary permeability, because less blood passes through the narrowed vessel per unit of time, and as a result, its output through the walls of the capillaries into the tissue decreases. As a result, puffiness, bags under the eyes, discomfort and heaviness are reduced.

However, eye drops with a vasoconstrictor effect can only be used according to the indications of an ophthalmologist and for the shortest possible courses. In no case should you change eye drops for nasal drops. The concentration of adrenergic agonists intended for instillation into the conjunctival sac is completely different, and the use of nasal drops can lead to chronic corneal burns.

Okumethyl (diphenhydramine + naphazoline + zinc sulfate)

Rating: 4.9

Ocumethyl is a modern complex ophthalmic product that contains 3 active ingredients. These are naphazoline, diphenhydramine and zinc sulfate. The droplets are bluish and clear liquid. Zinc in the form of sulfate has an astringent, drying effect. It has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects and is used in many branches of medicine.

Naphazoline is a sympathomimetic drug that provides the main effect of these drops: a pronounced and prolonged spasm of small vessels, or a vasoconstrictor effect. As a result, the swelling and looseness of the conjunctiva decreases, the injection of the sclera vessels, redness decreases, and the hyperemia of the mucous membrane is eliminated.

Finally, the third component is a histamine receptor blocker. It helps naphazoline: reduces capillary permeability and enhances the anti-edema effect. Therefore, as a result, Okumetil is used in the complex treatment of allergic edema of the eyes, in inflammatory processes such as conjunctivitis, and also serves as additional protection when prescribing antibacterial drops. However, this drug should be used one drop in each conjunctival sac, no more than 3 times a day. If after three days there is no improvement, then you need to cancel the drug and urgently see an ophthalmologist. Ocumetil is produced by the Egyptian company Alexandria, and the price of the drug is low: you need to pay 230 rubles for one 10 ml bottle.

Advantages and disadvantages

As can be seen from the indications, a big plus of Okumetil drops is the ability to use them for various ophthalmic pathologies, including redness. However, there are many contraindications. This is glaucoma, increased dryness of the eye, when vasoconstriction increases it more and more, this is pregnancy and breastfeeding. In men, it is prostatic hyperplasia, stomach ulcer, pheochromocytoma, that is, a hormonally active tumor that occurs with high attacks of blood pressure. Also, the funds are contraindicated in children under 2 years of age, in patients with diabetes mellitus. In some cases, immediately after instillation, there may be a slight blurring of vision, and a slight burning sensation, pupil dilation will appear. If you experience such side effects, you need to urgently consult a doctor. An overdose of eye drops is dangerous because naphazoline is absorbed into the bloodstream and can cause high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and headache. But in the event that these eye drops are used exactly as intended and in the shortest possible courses, then they will be of great benefit.

Octylia (tetrizolin) – Visin, Visoptic, Montevizin

Rating: 4.8

Octylia is a monopreparation that contains only the adrenergic agonist tetrizoline in the form of hydrochloride. It is a modern stimulant of alpha-adrenergic receptors, which has a persistent, long-term effect on vasoconstriction. Its purpose is to relieve edema and remove redness and hyperemia of the mucous membranes of the eye. An additional ingredient in the drops that softens side effects is linden and chamomile extracts. Octylia is used almost always in complex therapy when there is irritable eye syndrome and redness. These are air smoke, dusty atmosphere, exposure to intense ultraviolet light, for example, when hiking in the mountains, constant work with and monitors. It is necessary to bury Oktilia one by one – two drops up to 3 times a day. Without the permission of an ophthalmologist, the drug cannot be used for more than 3 days, especially if there is no improvement. This drug is produced by the Italian company SIFI, and one 8 ml bottle can be bought for 290 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

As in the previous case, overdose can cause systemic effects. This is a violation of the rhythm of the heart, increased pressure, breathing disorder. In severe cases, body temperature drops, drowsiness occurs. But such complications are rare, most often in the patient from side effects there is an expansion of the pupil, as well as a slight burning sensation during instillation. This drug, unlike the previous one, can be prescribed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but always in minimal dosages and under medical supervision.

As in the previous case, it is forbidden to use the funds in patients with glaucoma, in the presence of severe dryness of the conjunctiva, with degenerative processes in the cornea. Octylia is not prescribed to babies under three years of age, and if the patient is diagnosed with arterial hypertension, thyroid hyperfunction, diabetes mellitus, then the drug should be prescribed only taking into account the concomitant pathology. But with all the disadvantages, the big plus of this remedy is the fact that if it is prescribed in those dosages that are prescribed in the instructions, then the remedy does not have a general resorptive effect, and those severe side effects that were described above are not observed in patients, and simple redness passes quickly.

Polynadim (diphenhydramine + naphazoline)

Rating: 4.7

Polynadym is another option that combines diphenhydramine and naphazoline, in much the same way as in Okumetil, only with the absence of zinc sulfate. As a result, this agent has an antihistamine and alpha-adrenergic blocking effect, reduces itching and reduces lacrimation, and excessively dilated blood capillaries narrow for a long time, reducing inflammation and local edema syndrome.

Polynadym is indicated for allergic conjunctivitis and pollinosis, when pollen blooms, for chronic allergic reactions, in case of intolerance to contact lenses, as well as for various conjunctivitis of non-microbial origin, with redness of the eyes. The method of administration is usual: this is instillation into each conjunctival sac, just one drop every 3-4 hours until the condition alleviates and the symptoms of eye irritation decrease. After that, the dose is necessarily reduced, and Polynadim is instilled drop by drop no more often than 3 times a day. After the symptoms have disappeared, treatment must be stopped. In the event that, three days after the start of the application of the drops, there is no relief, then you should also stop instilling the drops and consult a doctor.

Polynadim is produced by the domestic pharmaceutical company Sintez; this product is a budget alternative to Okumetil. A 10ml bottle will cost only 45-50 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

Cheapness and wide distribution in pharmacies of all forms of ownership is the main advantage of Polynadim. For the rest, it is characterized by the usual pros and cons of all combined adrenomimetics in eye drops. So, the drug is contraindicated for all the above-described diseases for previous drugs. It cannot be used in children under 2 years of age, as well as if the agent is used simultaneously with MAO inhibitors. These include many antidepressants such as Aurorix.

Moreover, these eye drops should not be used for two weeks after discontinuation of such drugs. With caution, it is prescribed for a large list of diseases, ranging from thyrotoxicosis and hypertension, and ending with adrenal adenoma and prostatic hyperplasia. It should not be used in pregnant and nursing mothers. But in the event that it is prescribed in low doses, in short courses, and taking into account contraindications, then these budgetary eye drops can be an indispensable assistant in people with hay fever and seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, in people with simple redness from fatigue and tobacco smoke.

Antiallergic drops for eye redness

Almost all drops from the vasoconstrictor section can be used in the complex therapy of allergic diseases, which are manifested by such ophthalmic pathology as itching, conjunctivitis, swelling, redness and lacrimation. But as described above, the frequent use of such drops in large doses is fraught with serious systemic complications. Alpha-adrenergic agonists are absorbed into the bloodstream, and can cause heart rhythm disturbances, increased blood pressure, and this can significantly worsen well-being, and even pose a threat to life in certain categories of patients. Therefore, modern antiallergic drugs contain other active substances, and the choice between adrenomimetics and antiallergic drops should be made by an ophthalmologist. What preparations for topical use are most in demand in the 21st century for allergies?

Allergodil (azelastine)

Rating: 4.9

Allergodil is a modern antiallergic drug containing only one powerful active ingredient: azelastine, which belongs to the H1 histamine receptor blockers. This remedy can rightly be called 'heavy artillery', which is successfully used if the eyes are red, swollen and tears are pouring out of them. Due to the pronounced antiallergic effect, Allergodil helps to quickly cope with the serious symptoms of allergic and atopic conjunctivitis. The action of azelastine is associated with the stabilization of membranes, a decrease in the permeability of the vascular wall, and also with inhibition of the release of biologically active substances responsible for allergies. In addition to eye drops, Allergodil is also available in the form of an intranasal spray.

Unlike vasoconstrictor drugs, of the side effects of Allergodil, only rarely occurring irritation or dryness of the eye is known, itching and redness can very rarely occur. Allergodil is not used in children under 4 years of age, and it has not been found to have such serious side effects as in vasoconstrictor drops. Allergodil is not used in the first trimester in pregnant women, as well as in nursing mothers. The agent is instilled in 1 drop 2 times a day in the morning and in the evening, and in the case of acute symptoms – one drop up to 4 times a day.

Allergodil is a rather expensive drug. Only 6 ml in a bottle produced by the German company Medana Pharma will cost about 480 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Allergodil is its good tolerance, rapid relief of severe allergic symptoms, the ability to prescribe it in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, as well as the ability to use it in complex therapy for the treatment of infectious pathology of the eyes, lacrimal apparatus and eye appendages. Allergodil does not interact with other medications, and does not cause signs of overdose. However, this tool is not cheap and does not last long.

Cromohexal (cromoglycic acid), Lekrolin

Rating: 4.8

This is also a modern anti-allergic drug that contains cromoglycic acid. This active ingredient is used in allergology, not only for the treatment of eye diseases, but, above all, for the long-term therapy of bronchial asthma attacks. But in low concentration, a solution of cromoglycic acid effectively copes with allergy symptoms in ophthalmic practice.

The mechanism of action of this agent is associated with the obstruction of the flow of ionized calcium into mast cells, the activation of which triggers standard allergic mechanisms. An important feature of Cromohexal is its prophylactic focus. If a patient has chronic seasonal conjunctivitis, lacrimation associated with flowering herbs and the appearance of pollen in the air, redness, then the same Allergodil will help him well. But in order to prevent this situation from repeating itself, Cromohexal is needed. The ideal option is to prescribe it shortly before the herbal season.

In addition, the remedy remarkably helps with prolonged exposure to unfavorable environmental factors, when using household chemicals, cosmetics, when caring for plants and animals. A classic example of the use of these drops is an employee of perfumery salons and hairdressers, when, due to the nature of the service, the effect of various aerosols, aromas and the influence of cosmetics cannot be excluded. You need to drip two drops into each eye up to 4 times a day, but not more often than 8 times. Kromohexal is produced by the German company Gerhard Mann, and a 10 ml bottle is inexpensive, only 100 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Cromohexal is its prophylactic orientation and the ability to cause long-term resistance of the eye to allergic irritating components. But, on the other hand, it cannot be used by children under two years old. In pregnant and lactating women, it is possible to take it, but always with caution. During treatment with these drops, contact lenses should not be worn, and also on the days when these drops are used, you need to be careful when driving.

Opatanol (olopatadin), Visallergol, Olopatallerg

Rating: 4.7

These eye drops are relatively infrequently prescribed, not because they are bad, but because they are rarely on sale. Opatanol contains the only active ingredient – olopatadine hydrochloride form, and is also used to treat allergic eye diseases. A distinctive property of olopatadin is high selectivity, or selectivity. It does not affect the vascular wall, dopamine and muscarinic receptors, and serotonin metabolism.

The main indication for the use of eye drops is the complex treatment of the main infectious diseases associated with conjunctivitis, redness and swelling. Opatanol is used in a convenient form: one drop twice a day. Opatanol is produced by the well-known Belgian company Alcon, specializing in high-quality eye drops, and 5 ml of this drug costs about 500 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of this tool is its safety and high selectivity in relation to the effect on allergic reactions, the absence of overdose, and the ability to use it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, there is not enough experience in the use of this remedy in children under 3 years old, therefore it is prescribed from this very age. In some cases, temporary lacrimation and a foreign body sensation in the eye may occur, which soon disappears.

Antiviral and antibacterial (for microbial and viral conjunctivitis)

Speaking about local preparations for redness of the eyes, one cannot fail to mention the group of eye drops, which fights against pathogenic microorganisms and viruses. Do not think that any redness in the eyes is allergic or caused by environmental factors. Ophthalmologists know a lot of examples when banal catarrhal conjunctivitis and redness are complicated by a purulent process, and then the patient needs to use antimicrobial eye drops, otherwise the case may end up with a serious visual impairment or complete blindness. Therefore, it is very important for banal redness of the eyes, if the treatment does not lead to improvement, after a maximum of 3 days, see an ophthalmologist and pass the necessary tests.

Normax (norfloxacin)

Rating: 4.9

Normax is a well-known drug from the Indian company Ipka, which contains a well-known antimicrobial agent from the group of fluoroquinolones, namely norfloxacin. This remedy is indicated for the treatment of various conjunctivitis, inflammation of the eyelids, or blepharitis, for the prevention of microbial lesions of the cornea, for the treatment of gonococcal conjunctivitis in babies with congenital gonococcal infection.

The big advantage of these drops is their unified form: the same Normax drops can be buried not only in the eyes, but also in the ears, therefore they are indicated in the complex therapy of external and internal otitis media, as well as in case of infectious lesions of the Eustachian, or auditory tubes. For prophylactic purposes, they are prescribed after various operations on the eyes and on the organs of the middle ear, as well as after the removal and extraction of various foreign bodies from the cornea and conjunctival cavity.

It is necessary to apply Normax one or two drops into an inflamed eye with redness up to 4 times a day. In the event that the symptoms of inflammation have disappeared, it is necessary to continue instilling the drug over the next two days. As mentioned above, this product is produced by the Indian company Ipka, and one 5 ml bottle can be purchased for 170 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of these eye drops is their good tolerance, and the ability to affect a wide range of gram-negative microorganisms. Also, Normax can be buried in the external auditory canal, and this does not require a separate dosage form. Drops are widely used for prevention, the product is of high quality and is inexpensive. However, in some cases, there may be side effects that include nausea, headache, and the development of skin rashes. These drops are not used in children, but only in persons of eighteen years of age, they are not used in pregnant and lactating women.

Tobrex (tobramycin), Tobriss, Tobropt

Rating: 4.8

If the previous antimicrobial drug is not bad, then Tobrex can rightfully be considered wonderful, since tobramycin is a more modern drug, and more powerful than norfloxacin, which has been used for several decades. The indications for Tobrex are exactly the same: inflammation of the eyelid conjunctiva, microbial redness, keratitis, iridocyclitis, prevention of secondary microbial infection after eye injury and after surgery. Tobramycin belongs to the group of aminoglycosides, and is especially good for the treatment of eye infections caused by streptococci and staphylococci, that is, gram-positive microorganisms.

Tobrex should be prescribed according to the average scheme, up to 2 drops every 4 hours for mild to moderate infections. In severe cases, it is necessary to instill two drops every hour, and as you improve, take longer breaks. Since Tobrex is a monopreparation that has a minimum of side effects, the duration of treatment can last up to several weeks, but always under the supervision of a doctor. The drug Tobrex is produced by a well-known Belgian manufacturer of high-quality eye drops – the Alcon company, and their cost is not very high: you will need to pay about 200 rubles for one 5 ml bottle.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Tobrex is its good tolerance and the possibility of long-term use, the ability to inhibit the growth and reproduction of gram-positive flora, and low systemic absorption (absorption). There are no toxic effects from it. However, hypersensitivity or an allergic reaction in the form of itching, hives and rash may occur, and then it is necessary to stop the administration of the drug as soon as possible and consult a doctor. During treatment, contact lenses should not be worn; after instillation, at least 15 minutes must elapse before the patient puts them on. It goes without saying that wearing contact lenses for eye infections is strictly prohibited, and it is only in this case about the use of Tobrex for prophylactic purposes.

Futsitalmic (fusidic acid)

Rating: 4.7

Futsitalmic is a modern mid-price drug that contains an antibiotic called fusidic acid. Futsitalmik is used for deep inflammatory processes in the eyelids, for keratitis, conjunctivitis, as well as for blockage and inflammation of the lacrimal ducts. This antibiotic is synthesized by fungi, and with its help they protect themselves from bacteria, disrupting their protein synthesis. Haemophilus influenzae, staphylococci and streptococci are sensitive to this antibiotic. These are precisely the microorganisms that are most commonly found in microbial eye infections.

Futsitalmic is not liquid, but viscous eye drops. After application, they adhere well to the conjunctiva, and this prolonged contact ensures a constant concentration of the antibiotic on the surface of the eyeball and conjunctival sac. It is necessary to apply the drug one drop 2 times a day, the average course of treatment is one week. Futsitalmik is produced by the Irish company Leo Pharmaceutical, and the cost of one small 5 ml bottle is about 400 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

Futsitalmic is an alternative drug that is often in reserve and is prescribed after evidence of infection with Haemophilus influenzae, streptococci or staphylococci has been obtained with the help of bacterial culture of the discharge from the conjunctiva. It works well due to its viscous shape and can be indicated from a very early age, starting from 1 year. As for pregnant and lactating women, the drug can also be prescribed to them with caution, but only because large-scale studies and a lot of clinical experience with the use of this drug have not yet been accumulated. The product is well tolerated, and only occasionally there may be minor allergic manifestations.

Maxitrol (Dexamethasone, Polymyxin B, Neomycin).

Another representative of high-quality eye drops from the Belgian company Alcon is a complex preparation of antibiotics and glucocorticoid hormones Maxitrol. It contains two active antibacterial components: polymyxin B and neomycin, and the corticosteroid hormone dexamethasone is added as an anti-inflammatory agent, which is quite common in nasal sprays, as well as ointments and creams.

The indications for the use of this drug are exactly the same: various inflammatory diseases of the eyelids, conjunctiva of the eye, sclera, cornea, iris, anterior chamber and even the deep media of the eye. It is also prescribed as a means of prevention.

It is necessary to use Maxitrol taking into account contraindications. This is, first of all, a viral lesion, eye tuberculosis, which is rare, but still occurs. This is a fungal infection, keratitis caused by the herpes virus, in which a blistering rash appears on the skin. It is necessary to drip Maxitrol one to two drops every 4 or 6 hours. In case of severe infection, drops are instilled hourly, but no longer than 3 days, and only under the supervision of a doctor. Maxitrol is not cheap: one 5 ml bottle will cost about 570 rubles in a retail pharmacy network.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Maxitrol is a well-chosen combination of antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory hormonal component. Thus, this is a three-in-one combination, and the price of 570 rubles now seems quite small, if divided by three. It can be combined with other eye drops, only the range between their applications should be at least 10 minutes. An allergic reaction can develop to Maxitrol, as to any other drug: it is itching and swelling of the eyelids, and the corticosteroid hormone can cause an increase in intraocular pressure, so the drug can be used without a doctor's prescription for only a short time, and if it is taken longer than 10 days, it is necessary monitoring of intraocular pressure.

Ophthalmoferon (interferon alfa-2b + diphenhydramine)

Rating: 4.6

At the end of the story about this group of eye drops, it is necessary to mention a drug with antiviral activity. Ophthalmoferon can serve as an example of domestic eye drops aimed at suppressing replication in viral eye infections. It contains the recombinant human interferon Alpha-2b, and the antiallergic component diphenhydramine, which we have already encountered in the first group of drugs with a vasoconstrictor effect.

In the group of indications for use – a wide range of diseases, ranging from adenoviral conjunctivitis, and ending with corneal transplantation and herpes eye disease. It is necessary to use this drug one to two drops up to 8 times a day in adults.

However, you need to know that in case of symptoms of ocular herpes, the appearance of a blistering rash in the eye area, first of all, it is necessary to urgently visit an ophthalmologist, literally, in the first hours after the detection of this rash. Then it is necessary to apply Acyclovir in the form of an ophthalmic ointment, and also use Acyclovir or Zovirax 200 mg tablets 5 times a day. The fact is that herpetic lesion of the eyes is quite severe, and in some cases leads to such a complication as herpetic encephalitis, in which mortality is very high. The aforementioned Oftalmoferon may be an auxiliary component in treatment, but the main remedy in the case of ocular herpes should be Acyclovir or its more modern analogues. Oftalmoferon is produced by the domestic company Firn-M, and its cost for the spring of 2019 is 300 rubles per 10 ml.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Oftalmoferon is good tolerance, lack of systemic effect. As for his weaknesses, he cannot cope with herpes infection on his own, and if the patient does not resort to real antiviral local and systemic therapy, the result can be very disastrous.

Anti-inflammatory and moisturizing drops

In conclusion of the review of drops from redness of the eyes, we present two drugs from the group of anti-inflammatory and moisturizers. They are not able to cope with allergic redness on their own, do not affect the prevalence of the infectious process, and are used as auxiliary drops in complex treatment and prevention. As for the last drug Vidisik, it promotes a more careful handling of the organ of vision, and can be used in healthy patients for prophylaxis when exposed to adverse environmental factors.

Indocollyr (indomethacin)

Rating: 4.9

Everyone knows the anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin, which is used for joint pain, it reduces redness, swelling, relieves the feeling of heat. In short, it fights inflammation. This is the same drug, only to eliminate inflammation of the eye and its appendages (eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus). It does not fight microorganisms, does not affect the effects of environmental factors, but only interrupts the mechanism of inflammatory reactions. That is why, when exposed to Indikollir, redness, pain decreases, swelling decreases, and most often this drug is used in the postoperative period after various ophthalmic operations.

He is prescribed one drop 4 times a day before the operation, and at the same dosage for 3 hours before the operation. In the postoperative period – one drop up to 6 times a day to prevent inflammation. To relieve pain – 1 drop 4 times a day. These eye drops are produced by the German company Gerhard Mann, and one 5-milliliter bottle costs 400 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The deficiency in Indocollir is the same as in indomethacin. It also has systemic side effects. It cannot be used even in drops for stomach ulcers, with severe liver and kidney failure, under the age of 18, during lactation and during pregnancy. But in the event that serious prevention of inflammation and subsequent surgical intervention is necessary, then this remedy is really necessary, and can greatly alleviate the condition of the ophthalmic patient.

Vidisik (carbomer)

Rating: 4.8

This product is a pure moisturizer and a high quality artificial tear. It is in itself indifferent, and is a carbomer. Its effect is protective, and it is not even a drop, but a rather thick and viscous eye gel. It imitates tears very well, the cornea and conjunctiva do not dry out for a long time, the resulting protective film improves the regeneration of the corneal epithelium. This consistency allows Vidisik not to accumulate in tissues, not to penetrate into the anterior chamber of the eye, and to provide comfortable vision.

It is indicated for dry and red eye syndrome, and this condition is often found in truck drivers, in people working at computers, in residents of dusty areas in the summer. It is necessary to instill this viscous gel one drop up to 5 times a day, and at the same time, during treatment, you should not wear soft contact lenses. The already mentioned German company Gerhard Mann produces Vidisik, and 1 tube of 10 g costs, on average, 260 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

Both the advantages and disadvantages of this tool are obvious. So, it only protects, but does not heal. Therefore, it can be used in the very first place when redness and unpleasant symptoms occur. If the condition improves significantly, then, therefore, these are not allergic and infectious processes. If the improvement is insignificant, then you need to urgently consult an ophthalmologist. On the other hand, it makes sense to apply it to those people who have excessive visual load.
