Eye drops are a topical dosage form that is used to treat conditions affecting the eyes. They are a liquid preparation that is applied directly to the eye. Eye drops are commonly used to treat dry eyes, redness, eye infections, and other types of eye irritation. They can also be used to deliver medication to the eye, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents. Eye drops are formulated with active ingredients that are effective against the specific condition being treated. They are easy to use and convenient, but it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and to avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. Eye drops may cause side effects such as stinging or blurred vision, so it is important to monitor for these and to discontinue use if necessary.
