Eye CareEye Care

This category covers medicated eye drops and ointments for raised eye pressure, infection and inflammation. Many are used long term, where consistent daily use protects sight. Some of these drops are used for a defined course and others indefinitely, which is why knowing what a drop is for matters as much as the dose.

Key points

  • Glaucoma drops protect sight by lowering pressure, and the benefit depends on using them consistently.
  • Infection and inflammation drops are for defined courses, unlike the long-term pressure-lowering drops.
  • Steroid drops used without supervision can worsen some eye infections and raise pressure.
