Hayfever 2% w/v Eye Drops Solution, Anti-Allergy Relief for Itchy and Irritated Eyes, Fast-Acting Treatment for Hayfever Symptoms with Sodium Cromoglicate, 1 x 10 ml

Great for keeping eyes hydrated and less scratchy.

These eye drops are excellent and quick working. The ingredients are right for my eyes. I find it worrying that other different types are taking precedence, even when I specifically look for Opticrom on Amazon, as they are maybe not right for me medically.

Easy to use and no side effects noticed. Itchy eyes from an immune reaction to germs, dust or pollen contacting the eye surface is reduced or eliminated. In my case I feel a very mild sting when first put in which is most obvious if the eyes have been rubbed red, but then the discomfort and itching subsides within a few minutes and you can forget about it. If you have an eye infection producing matter or 'pink eye' see your doctor.

It’s a standard eye drop for hayfever and nothing beats a few drops of this straight from the fridge in itchy hayfever eyes to prevent you from rubbing them. The only problem it’s a tiny bottle and you need tiny strong fingers to open the bottle initially. I had to get an 8 year old child to open mine.

Now many people look forward to June as the start of summer with warm days and relaxing evenings. Alas, if you are a (grass pollen) hayfever sufferer then June signifies the start of your wishing the rain would come, and stick around for the next couple of months! I use these eye drops in conjunction with Allevia tablets - which are a complete game changer I might add (and have reviewed) - for those rare days when it is so bad even the tablets can't do it on their own. These drops are superb bringing swift relief to the frustration of itchy, runny and damn sore eyes! They start working almost immediately and yes, the symptoms do go inside 2 minutes. To any hayfever sufferer I highly recommend these in addition to the Allevia tablets. Thanks for reading and I hope you found it useful/

Pros: Good value for money (1 drop in each eye) Easy to use Fairly fast results Cons: Can sting sometimes Doesn't reduce redness Needed this for dog allergies and hay-fever. This has always been a wonderful product and a staple in the medicine cupboard. For some it might be difficult to put in the eye and might sting, but bear with it and you'll find relief pretty quickly! Overall the starting price might seem high, but if you work it out, one drop every few hours for the amount is actually pretty good. Especially if your eyes are very irritated. Will mention that it doesn't reduce redness, but that's not what the product says it does. Recommended.

Opticrom Sodium Cromoglicate are the only eye drops which seem to work on my allergies. I suffer from chronic rhinitis, reactions to just about all food, and really dry/sore and painful eyes. I first used this product by total accident when I couldn't get hold of brand x, and noticed an immediate decrease in my symptoms. I have now relied upon these drops for a number of years, and don't know what I would do if I could no longer buy them. I always keep a couple of bottles in reserve for times when they go out of stock. I would definitely recommend them to anyone suffering with allergies, whether they be seasonal or not. Sodium Cromoglicate is known to work wonders on allergies owing to its mast cell stabilising properties, hence why it's often prescribed to people with mast cell disorders and MCAS.

The eye drops are soothing and effective. Postage to Ireland is very expensive.
