Oloeye Ophthalmic Solution

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Oloeye Ophthalmic Solution is a medicine used to treat allergic conjunctivitis, a condition that causes red, itchy, and watery eyes due to allergens. It works by blocking the effects of histamine and preventing the release of chemicals that cause allergic reactions, providing quick and lasting relief.

Use Oloeye Ophthalmic Solution exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, it is applied 1-2 times a day, depending on your condition. Wash your hands before using the drops, tilt your head back, and apply one drop into the affected eye(s). Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to prevent contamination. For the best results, use it regularly and at the same time each day.


Some common side effects of Oloeye Ophthalmic Solution include eye pain, eye irritation, eye discomfort, weakness, and dry mouth. These side effects usually go away on their own after a few minutes. If side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience more severe reactions like swelling, severe itching, or rash, contact your doctor immediately. To prevent side effects, avoid using more drops than prescribed and follow the instructions carefully.


While using Oloeye Ophthalmic Solution, avoid driving or using machinery immediately after application if you experience blurred vision. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. Do not use the drops if you are allergic to the medicine or any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using any other medications to avoid potential interactions.
