Please read the important information below regarding eye drops for hay fever before starting your consultation.
How eye drops work
See read the hay fever overview.
We supply on prescription three different types of eye drop. Sodium Cromoglycate stops histamine release, Rapitil is anti-inflammatory and Optilast blocks the inflammation caused by histamine.
One type of eye drop may work better for you than another. It can be useful to try different drops.
Eye drops can be used on their own or with nasal sprays and/or antihistamine tablets.
Using drops
Eye drops are effective if used prior to dust and pollen exposure or for control of symptoms once they have started. The drops will be most effective if used regularly throughout the hay fever season, although they can be used on an as required basis.
Side effects
Very little of the active agents are absorbed into the body. Systemic side effects are unlikely. There may be short lived blurring of vision when drops are applied. Sensitivity reactions can lead to soreness and irritation in and around the eye. This is unusual.
