Indications
Clear Eyes, known by its generic name Naphazoline, is a medication used to treat redness and irritation in the eyes caused by allergies, infections, or other factors. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sympathomimetics. Naphazoline works by decreasing blood flow to the affected area which helps to reduce redness and irritation.
Naphazoline is available in over-the-counter forms and is often found in combination with other medications such as antihistamines or antibiotics. It has a variety of uses, from nasal decongestants to eye drops. The drop is used for the relief of nasal congestion due to colds and allergies. Clear Eyes is an effective way to reduce the discomfort associated with these conditions.
Uses and Dosage
Clear Eyes Redness Relief is available in the form of eye drops. To use Clear Eyes (Naphazoline) eye drops, tilt your head back and gently squeeze 1 to 2 drops into each eye. Close your eyes for a few minutes, and then reopen them. Avoid wearing contact lenses for at least 15 minutes after you apply the eye drops. Do not use the eye drops more than 4 times in one day.
For the ophthalmic solution (eye drop) dosage form, the recommended dosage for adults is one drop not more often than every four hours.
