  • Rapid Relief
  • Easy to administer
  • Fast acting

Opticrom eye drops give rapid relief from allergy symptoms which affect the eyes such as itchy, watery, puffy eyes.

Histamine is a substance released by the bodies ‘mast cells’ as part of an immune response to foreign particles. It is this histamine which causes all of the symptoms of hay fever we all dislike and know all too well such as itchy, watery, puffy eyes.

Opticrom eye drops contain the active ingredient called ‘sodium cromoglicate’ which stabilises these mast cells which in turn stops the release of histamine and consequently stops the symptoms of hay fever.
