Opthopin

Opthopin 1% Eye Drop should not be used if you have or suspect you have glaucoma (high pressure in the eye) since it can increase the pressure in the eye or if you are having any eye infection.

When you instill the eye drops for the first time, it can make your eyes watery and may sometimes cause blurred vision. If this happens, it will quickly clear. Make sure you can see clearly again before you drive, or use tools or machines.

You should contact your doctor immediately if you develop an eye infection, conjunctivitis, or an eyelid reaction. Also, you should inform the doctor if you have an eye injury or eye surgery. Discuss with your doctor if you have to continue using Opthopin 1% Eye Drop.

If you usually wear contact lenses, do not wear them while you're using Opthopin 1% Eye Drop. You can re-insert the lens 15 minutes after using Opthopin 1% Eye Drop. Contact your doctor if there is any eye irritation that persists.

Always consult your doctor before using any other eye drops along with Opthopin 1% Eye Drop. It is advisable to give a gap of atleast 10-15 minutes between the two medications.

The usual dose of this medicine is one to two drops daily. Consult your doctor in case of any doubts.

While using this medicine, if you develop any irritation, pain, swelling, excessive tear production or light-sensitivity in the eyes, remember to flush the treated eye(s) with lots of water (room temperature) for at least 15 minutes. Stop using the eye drops and contact your doctor immediately.
