DROPS

Eye Drops at Smart Vision Optometry

Understanding Eye Drops

Eye drops are a common and effective solution for various eye conditions, including dry eyes, allergies, and infections. They help to lubricate, soothe, and treat your eyes, providing relief from discomfort and promoting eye health.

Types of Eye Drops

At Smart Vision Optometry, we offer a variety of eye drops to address your specific needs:

• Lubricating Eye Drops: These drops help to moisturise and relieve dry eyes, reducing irritation and discomfort.
• Allergy Eye Drops: Designed to alleviate symptoms of eye allergies, such as itching, redness, and watering.
• Antibiotic Eye Drops: Used to treat bacterial eye infections, these drops help to eliminate harmful bacteria and promote healing.
• Anti-inflammatory Eye Drops: These drops reduce inflammation and pain in conditions like uveitis and post-surgery recovery.

Benefits of Using Eye Drops

• Quick Relief: Eye drops provide fast relief from symptoms like dryness, redness, and itching.
• Easy Application: They are easy to apply and can be used multiple times a day for ongoing relief.
• Targeted Treatment: Eye drops deliver medication directly to the eye, ensuring effective treatment.

Preservative Free Eye Drop Lubricants

Lubricating drops like HyloFresh, HyloForte, TheraTears and Tears Again replenish the deficient tear film and are a fundamental component of dry eye disease management.

There are many eye drops with varied ingredients and your Smart Vision Optometrist will discuss the best option for you. Preservative free drops are essential to avoid further aggravation of the inflamed ocular surface. Often just switching to a preservative free lubricating drop can make a dramatic difference.

Anti-inflammatory Eye Drops

Inflammation and dry eyes are related in a complex way. Anti-inflammatory drops like FML, Minims Prednisolone, cyclosporine, Cromofresh and Lomide are used in the short-term to break the cycle between inflammation and dryness, or allow other Smart Vision wellness treatment programs to work. In some cases, over-the-counter mast-cell stabilisers can counteract inflammation as a result of friction that a normal tear layer would prevent.

Overnight Lubricating Gels and Ointment

Particularly useful for symptoms of dry eyes that are worse on waking in the morning, thick, long-lasting lubricants like Genteal and VitPos protect the eyes throughout the night.
