Homacid Eye Drop
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Homacid Eye Drop is used before eye examinations and to treat an eye condition called uveitis. It acts by enlarging the pupil of the eyes and helps the doctor visualize the eye more closely. It reduces redness and swelling in the eyes after cataract surgery.
Homacid Eye Drop is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Refrain from touching the tip of the dropper to any surface to avoid contaminating the eye drops.
The common side effects include burning and stinging sensation immediately after application. These are usually temporary and resolve with time. Using Homacid Eye Drop can make your eyes more sensitive to light. Thus, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from sunlight and other bright lights. Avoid driving right after using this medicine as it may cause blurring of the vision.

Benefits of Homacid Eye Drop
In Eye examination
Eye examination consists of multiple tests performed in order to access the vision as well as health of the eyes. It helps to analyse the function of the eyes better and also figure out any problems that may be creating problems with eyesight. Homacid Eye Drop helps to increase the size of the pupil which helps in thorough examination of the eyes and its associated structures. It is used by an eye specialist and should not be self-administered.
In Uveitis
The middle layer in the inner wall of the eye is called uvea and any inflammation in this layer is called uveitis. This may cause sudden noticeable symptoms such as pain, redness, blurred vision, swelling etc. It may even occur after an eye procedure of surgery such as cataract surgery. Homacid Eye Drop helps relieve these symptoms and improves the eye health. It should be used as advised by the doctor to get the most benefit.
