About Cooleye Eye Drop

Cooleye Eye Drop is a combination drug containing 'ophthalmic medication,' primarily used to treat allergic diseases of the eye. It helps to treat swelling, redness of the eye, and temporary relief from the eye's discomfort and burning.  An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. Eye allergy is when the eye becomes red and swelled up, leading to inflammation, discomfort, and pain.

Cooleye Eye Drop contains Phenylephrine, Naphazoline, Menthol, and Camphor. Phenylephrine and naphazoline are decongestants, both working by narrowing the eye's blood vessels to reduce inflammation (redness and swelling in the eye). Menthol and camphor help to provide a cooling effect to the eye and reduces discomfort and pain.
