Treating Dry Eye




The drop I am referring to is Pazeo by Alcon Pharmaceutical. It is by prescription only. It has worked well for my patients. No drop should be administered unless the patient is evaluated by an eye care professional. This drop is a combination of antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer. The mast cell stabilizer helps reduce the amount of irritants ( contained within the mast cells) caused by the mast cells in the eye being released. They're released when the mast cells break apart. The antihistamine reduces the amount of histamine. Again, this drop is by prescription only and I have found the generic does not work as well. Be aware that this drop does not work on all eye conditions.
