Opticrom is ophthalmic medication used to treat certain allergic eye conditions such as vernal keratoconjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis, and vernal keratitis. It inhibits itching of the eyes that can occur with these conditions.

Opticrom eye drops contain the active ingredient sodium cromoglicate, which belongs to a class of medications called mast cell stabilizers. It works by preventing the release of certain substances in the body that cause allergic reactions. Mast cells are an important part of the immune system, and when they are activated, they release histamine and other substances that cause inflammation and immune system response.

Sodium cromoglicate stabilizes the mast cells and prevents them from releasing histamine, thus reducing the symptoms of allergic reactions such as itchy, watery, or red eyes. Opticrom eye drops may take a few days to start working, and a few weeks to achieve full effectiveness.

Opticrom eye drops should be used four times a day, or as directed by your doctor. Treatment may continue for up to three months.

To apply Opticrom eye drops, follow these steps:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
  2. Tilt your head back and look upward.
  3. Gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  4. Hold the dropper above the pocket and squeeze one drop into it.
  5. Release the lower eyelid and close your eye for one to two minutes.
  6. If you need to use more than one drop, wait for at least five minutes before putting in the next drop.
  7. Replace the dropper cap tightly after each use.
  8. Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination.
  9. Avoid wearing contact lenses while using these eye drops.

Use Opticrom eye drops regularly and at the same time each day to get the most benefit from it. If you are using other eye medications, wait at least five minutes before applying Opticrom eye drops. If you have any concerns, contact your doctor for advice.
