Opticrom Hayfever 2% w/v Eye Drops are specially formulated to relieve eye symptoms caused by seasonal or perennial allergies — such as itchiness, redness, watering and puffy eyelids. The active ingredient, sodium cromoglicate 2% w/v, acts as a mast-cell stabiliser that helps prevent the release of histamine and related mediators from eye tissue when allergens are encountered.

This 10 ml dropper-bottle is ideal for adults and children aged 6 and above. Usage is simple: 1 or 2 drops into each eye up to 4 times daily, under adult supervision.
