Vividrin 2% w/v Eye Drops Solution

Vividrin 2% w/v Eye Drops Solution

Vividrin 2% w/v Eye Drops Solution are used to prevent and treat chronic allergic conjunctivitis and hay fever (acute allergic conjunctivitis). Allergic conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the thin skin that covers the white parts of the eyes and the inside of the eyelids. The most common cause is an allergy to pollen during the hay fever season. Other causes are less common such as allergies to house dust mites, cosmetics or problems with contact lenses. You may have red, watery and itchy eyes. The sodium cromoglicate in your drops works to stop the allergic reaction in your eyes and has a soothing effect. These drops can be used in children, adults and the elderly.
