could i use regular eye drops and prescription eye drops together?

Question

Need to know if can I buy this eye drop without prescription: zymar clomofloxacino?

Answer 1

Allow ~5 minutes: between drops so they don't wash each other out. Once you place the drop, it's best to keep your eye gently closed so it has a chance to be absorbed. Blinking or squeezing will cause it to drain away quicker. Wait a few minutes and then place the other drops in. I am assuming you mean artificial tears when you say "regular" drops. Good luck

Answer 2

Eye Drops: "eye drops" is a term that applies to many different formulations depending on the treatment purpose. The drops contain the active ingredient, say for gaucoma, or antibiotic, or steroid, or antihistamine and added to this is a preservative. Moisturizers/lubricants contain methylcellulose derivatives. Eye drops are safe when used properly according to the advice of an experienced physician.

Answer 3

Many things: Eye drops are either medicated or not. All preserved drops contain a chemical that keeps it from becoming contaminated. The remainder of the chemicals are determined by the specific intent of the manufacturers to treat the particular condition. You should never attempt to create your own eye drops.

Answer 4

That's a start: There are over-the-counter eye drops for allergies; some work better than others. As well, artificial tears can help. If the itching persists after a few days, you should see an eye doctor for an evaluation and to better help relieve your discomfort.

Answer 5

Yes: Yes, try zaditor (ketotifen) or patanol, which can be found over the counter. Also cold compresses.

Answer 6

Itchy: If from dry eyes you need to increase lubrication and decrease evaporation. If allergic try to remove possible allergens. Air filters, remove animals, change soaps, detergents, bedding in a step wise manner.

Answer 7

Ok!: Most people have trouble like this. Try lying down and dropping the drops onto the corner of your eyelid with your eyes closed, then open them- the drops will fall into your eye.

Answer 8

Normal: Your eye has built in reflexes to blink when something. Is coming at it. Try rolling your eyes to the back of your head, pulling the lower lid down, placing the drop on your lower lid. Let me know if this works. Never had this fail.

Answer 9

Be careful: Some labels say "homeopathic" because of dilutions in manufacturing. But these products may not be "homeopathic" to your case -- meaning, individualized specifically to the symptoms that you have. Thus these would not be likely to help you at a deep level -- although the substances in them may be dilute enough not to "harm" you. Most true homeopathic remedies come from substances found in nature.

Answer 10

A common condition: Meibomitis also called posterior blepharitis is a condition caused by blocked oil glands of the eyelid. It causes redness, discomfort and sometimes a blurring of vision. It can be a chronic condition needing different types of treatment. See your eye doctor for further information and have a great day!
