A member asked:
I have red eyes and itchy eyes and i brought optrex eye drops will they make my eyes worser?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Optrex is not an American company nor am I aware that they legally distribute products in the USA, however they do make artificial lubricants and possibly some decongestant products also that are probably safe to use. These drops contain preservatives that sometimes cause allergy. See an eye doctor if symptoms persist.
