Homacid 2% Eye Drops 5 ml
Homacid 2% Eye Drops 5 ml is used to treat uveitis (inflammation in the eye). It is also used in the eye before a doctor's examination and after eye surgery to lower eye pressure. It contains Homatropine, which relaxes the coloured part of the eye (Iris) and dilating (enlarging) the eye pupil. It also helps in reducing pain and inflammation. If a doctor has to examine the eye, this medicine helps examine the problem better as the pupil becomes enlarged. In some cases, it may cause side effects such as blurred vision, a burning sensation, dry mouth, increased sensitivity of eyes, and a bitter taste in the mouth. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using this medicine, and you can put them back 15 minutes after using it.
