Eye irritation causes

Eyes are not only a source of discomfort, they are also an important tool for interacting with the world.It is not surprising that the itching, burning in the eye area and the like manifestations immediately lead to the loss of a significant part of working capacity, distract attention.Even if the symptoms do not cause any particular inconvenience, the person will be distracted by them, realizing that he is not a spider, and there are no spare pairs of eyes available.

There are seven reasons for the discomfort and, accordingly, the types of drops for concomitant treatment:

1. antiseptic / anti-inflammatory action - with reddening and inflammation of the tissues of the anterior parts of the eye;
2. antiallergic - to eliminate manifestations( but not cause, allergy is not cured);
3. to improve metabolic processes - to alleviate age-related changes, dystrophic, as well as with cataracts;
4. antibacterial / antiviral - for the corresponding purposes strictly under the prescription;
5. for the treatment of glaucoma - as directed by an ophthalmologist;
6. vasoconstrictive - to make the eyes look less red, reduce swelling and flushing of the mucosa( may lead to dry eyes);
7. moisturizing - to prevent the drying of the cornea, to remove discomfort, also with dry eye syndrome.

The latter will be discussed as the most popular 99.9% of the inhabitants of the Earth.

The correct choice of drops

Although moisturizing droplets are not in themselves a remedy, unlike some of their "brethren", do not forget that you will fill them in your own eyes.You can take a chance and choose at random, but, firstly, it is not yet known how experienced the pharmacist who released the drops was - it is quite possible that they have such a list of contraindications that it's scary to look at.

Secondly, the composition is also important.Yes, this applies to the first item along with the side effects, but in this case there are all kinds of allergies and personal intolerances.

Problems of any kind will help to avoid a mere formality( and also the right and duty) - consultation with an ophthalmologist before buying the product.You can ask: they are released without a prescription, which means why waste valuable time?But, sorry, the components of chemical drugs and poisons also do not require a prescription.Are they harmless?In addition, unlike the latter, the drops should bring relief, and not harm, - only two eyes, and each in its own way is unique and expensive.

Indications for use

Anyone can feel the dryness and discomfort.Naturally, most of the drops sold without a prescription, in composition will resemble nothing more than tears( maximum water, a minimum of substances).And, of course, brings short-term relief.The reasons for the appearance of unpleasant moments can be several:

• work at the computer, reading and similar pastime( it is established that the person, getting carried away, just stops blinking, and the voltage caused by the flickering of the monitor or small font is additionally imposed);
• intense external exposure( bright sunlight, strong wind and so on - reason to remember the protective purpose of glasses);
• dehydration, both the body and the surrounding space( dry air in aircraft during long flights, for example);
• keratoconjunctivitis( actually, medical indications not related to changing the environment).

Drops will also reduce stress and fatigue, reduce redness, get rid of irritation, so as to rush into the abyss of everyday work with new strength.They also reduce the negative impact of wearing a lens.

Recommendations for using

First of all, remember that the drops are created on the basis of distilled water using a minimum of additives.However, for all this, they are created on the basis of technologies in such a way as to penetrate into the internal structure of the eye as soon as possible and begin to act.Therefore, the use of "not your own" drops is unacceptable, because you can not get there in time, not just to the doctor, but even to the tap to rinse your eyes.

1. Consult a physician and follow his instructions

Of course, you can find a drop cheaper or "the composition is the same, well!", But the drugs are selected based on the personal characteristics of each patient.And if you do not swallow it, it does not mean that if the prescription is violated, there will be no harm to health.Also do not forget: when treating the order of use of different types of drops is strictly regulated.

2. Store drops in the refrigerator

Although they are a medical product, they are also an excellent medium for the reproduction of bacteria and other things.It is always possible to preheat before use, for example, under a stream of hot water, so as not to cause eye irritation due to temperature drop.Thus, most of the items can be stored for up to a month.

3. Wash hands before eating and instilling drops

To avoid infections and additional hassles, you should observe sterility( as far as possible).In addition to washing your hands, you should pay attention to the tip of the pipette( or vial) - do not let it touch the skin of the eyelids, fingers, the surface of the eye.

It should be noted that for allergy sufferers there are also drops without antibacterial components.Most often in one package, a single dose, because within a day to get inside anything can, but clearly not the most useful for your vision and health.
