Eye drops are needed for keeping eyes healthy and treating different eye problems. They help in dealing with dryness, allergies, infection and provide targeted relief by reducing signs and increasing comfort. These little yet powerful medications can cure a number of diseases by being applied directly to the eye’s surface.

In this blog, we will explore everything you need to know about them, from what they are, types, how to and when to use them.

What are Eye Drops?

Medications in liquid form, meant to be applied directly to the eyes. These are mainly used for treating various conditions like dryness, infections, allergies, etc. drops work by providing medication or moisture right on the surface of the eye, which helps in relieving symptoms and maintaining good eye health.

Types of them:

• Lubricating: Provides relief from dry eyes and related discomfort caused by environmental factors like air conditioning, extended screen time, or certain medications’ side effects.
• Anti-Allergy: Itchy red swollen eyes due to allergic reactions can be treated with anti-allergy drops containing “antihistamines” or “mast cell stabilizers” that reduce itching, redness, and swelling.
• Decongestant: Helps to shrink blood vessels, reducing redness as well as swelling around the eyes temporarily, caused by irritation or minor allergies.
• Antibiotic: For bacterial infections, antibiotics are needed, which is why doctors prescribe antibiotic drops. Contains medication specifically designed for killing bacteria responsible for causing conjunctivitis (pink eye).
• Anti-inflammatory: Inflammation causes pain, anti-inflammatory drops relieve this pain by reducing inflammation levels within an affected area; they could also be useful after surgery has been performed on your eyes.
• Glaucoma: These manage glaucoma by either decreasing fluid production inside the eyeball or increasing its outflow, lowering intraocular pressure designed for such a purpose; therefore, they should only be used under a doctor’s supervision.

How to Apply?

• Clean your Hands: Always make sure you have washed your hands so that no germs get into contact with them, when touching any part around or inside your eye.
• Tilt Back Your Head: Look upwards while gently pulling down lower lid, creating a small pocket.
• Put drops in: Hold dropper above eye and squeeze it gently to let it fall into the pocket. Do not allow dropper tip touch on eyelid or eyeball since this may lead to contamination.
• Shut Your Eye: Softly close your eyes, and then press one finger against inner corner next to nose, so that drops can stay there longer.
• Don’t Blink: Try keeping your eyes closed for about a minute after inserting drops, ensuring that absorption of medicine into eye tissues is complete without being washed away by blinking movements.
• Repeat as Required: If more than one drop is needed, wait several minutes between each application; don’t wash off the previous droplet from its place before another one gets absorbed fully.

When to Use?

• Dryness: Use lubricating drops when experiencing dryness and irritation.
• Allergic reactions: Apply anti-allergy drops where itching and redness are present due to allergies.
• Infections: Follow doctor’s instructions on how often antibiotics should be used as prescribed for treating infections caused by bacteria only.
