What is Ocepred Eye Drop?

It can be used to alleviate inflammation and pain in the eye as well as improving the user’s vision. It can be used to treat conditions such as conjunctivitis, pink eye, keratitis, corneal ulcer, stye, blepharitis, uveitis and iritis. Some patients may also use the eye drops to prevent infections after eye surgery.
How is Ocepred Eye Drop used?
Ocepred Eye Drop should be applied exactly as prescribed by a doctor. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to the therapy. Prior to applying the medication, wash and dry your hands thoroughly. To apply the eye drops, pull down the lower eyelid to form a pouch. Squeeze one drop of the solution into the eye and close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place a finger on the inside corner of the eye and apply gentle pressure to prevent the solution from draining into the tear ducts. Repeat as necessary for additional does for either eye.
