Opcon-A
Opcon-A Allergy Eye Relief
Opcon-A is an over-the-counter allergy eye drop that tackles two of the most frustrating symptoms of seasonal and environmental allergies at once: itching and redness. If pollen, pet dander, dust, or mold leaves your eyes red, watery, and desperate to be rubbed, this dual-action formula is designed to bring quick relief without a prescription.
The active ingredients do the work in tandem. Pheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that calms the itching that comes with an allergic response, while naphazoline HCl is a decongestant that shrinks swollen blood vessels on the surface of the eye to reduce visible redness. Together they address both the cause of the discomfort and the appearance it produces.
We carry the Bausch Health Opcon-A Allergy Eye Relief sterile eye drops in a convenient 0.5 oz. bottle. A typical dose is one to two drops in the affected eye up to four times daily — but because it contains a redness reliever, it isn't meant for continuous long-term use. If symptoms persist beyond 72 hours, worsen, or if you experience eye pain or changes in vision, stop use and consult an eye care professional. People with glaucoma or heart conditions should check with a doctor before use, and contact lenses should be removed before applying and reinserted only after the redness clears.
Kept on hand at home, in a bag, or in a first-aid kit, Opcon-A is a practical answer for allergy sufferers who want fast comfort on high-pollen days. Stored at room temperature and used before its expiration date, a single bottle covers an entire allergy season for most households.
