Vasoconstrictor eye drops
Vasoconstrictor drugs include phenylephrine, oxymetazoline and naphazoline. These drugs constrict the superficial blood vessels on the eye and reduce redness and symptoms of ocular allergy. They do not treat the allergy and are often used in combination with anithistamines. They cause burning of the eyes and could increase eye redness once they are stopped; hence they should be used for short periods only. They may dilate the pupil (the opening in the iris through which the light enters the eye) and cause blurring of vision. They should not be used for patients suffering from narrow angle glaucoma.(3✔)
