Clinical notes

An increase in external stressors on the eye, such as indoor and outdoor pollutants, ozone, working with computer screens, air conditioning, and contact lenses have increased the incidence of inflammatory eye conditions. Dry eye syndrome is also seen more frequently due to the above and the side effects of many medications.
Because of the individual constituents of Oculoheel eye drops, the medication can be offered for the following conditions:

1. Catarrhal conjunctivitis, acute and chronic. Catarrhal ophthalmia and catarrhal headache, acrid lacrymation and bland coryza.
2. Blepharitis.
3. Dry eyes and sicca syndrome.
4. Over-strained, light-sensitive gritty eyes.
