What are the blue drops Okumetil, Innoxa, Iridin used for?

Ocumethyl blue eye drops are intended for the combination therapy of blepharoconjunctivitis, conjunctivitis of allergic and bacterial origin. Also, the drug is used to remove signs of irritation of the visual organ (itching, burning, hyperemia, sensation of the presence of a foreign object).

When applied topically, the medicinal liquid Okumetil prevents the development of tissue edema and helps to reduce capillary permeability. Drops are used to treat xerophthalmia - insufficient hydration of the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva. This condition develops due to a violation of the quality / quantity of the produced tear fluid and the instability of the protective film.

Ophthalmic solutions Innoxa and Iridina are indicated for use in:

• visual fatigue;
• uncomfortable sensations from the effects of external stimuli, which are expressed by hyperemia, cutting, itching;
• increased sensitivity of the eyes to light or bright flashes;
• increased lacrimation.

Often, Innoks' remedy is used as a prophylaxis for corneal injury with contact lenses and to accelerate adaptation to this ophthalmic device. Iridina and Innoxa can be used to moisturize the mucous membrane of the eye after prolonged reading or prolonged use of the computer.

Drops help to improve the condition of the visual organ after long-term work in a dim or overly lit room. It is recommended to carry out instillations with these means for people who wear glasses / contact lenses every day and who are driving a vehicle for a long time. Blue drops instantly eliminate unpleasant symptoms, providing a mild effect on the conjunctiva.

In some cases, ophthalmologists may prescribe a hypoallergenic solution of Innoks for the combined treatment of severe forms of pathologies of the optic organ. The drug Iridin, in turn, is not used to treat any disease.

Most often, these drops are used for asthenopia, which is manifested by a deterioration in visual function, a feeling of "sand" in the eyes, blurred vision, redness in the conjunctiva / sclera. Also, with this phenomenon, a headache may develop and a sensation of a veil on the mucous membrane may appear when reading. After 1 instillation, such symptoms quickly stop.

Innox and Iridin's medications do not reduce concentration after instillation, so they can be used immediately before driving. Second drops are often used to eliminate signs of eye irritation while wearing false eyelashes, planned replacement lenses, and when applying decorative cosmetics.
