Cortison Optichlor Ointment 3 gm

Cortison Optichlor Ointment 3 gm is used in the treatment of bacterial eye infections. Its specific uses include the following:

• Bacterial eye infections with inflammation: Cortison Optichlor Ointment 3 gm helps clear the underlying bacterial infection while simultaneously soothing redness, swelling, and itching in the affected eye.
• Post-surgical eye inflammation: It is sometimes prescribed after eye surgery to prevent bacterial contamination and control swelling during the healing process.

• Cortison Optichlor Ointment 3 gm provides prompt relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of an eye infection, such as grittiness, itching, and swelling, allowing you to return to your daily activities comfortably.
• By reducing inflammation, it prevents you from rubbing your eyes, which lowers the risk of spreading the infection or causing further injury to the delicate tissues.
• Additionally, the formula's targeted action ensures the infection is cleared efficiently, supporting a faster, safer recovery.

To use Cortison Optichlor Ointment 3 gm safely and effectively, follow these step-by-step instructions:

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the medication.
• Tilt your head back slightly, look upward, and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
• Hold the dropper bottle directly over your eye. Be careful not to let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, hands, or any other surface to keep it free from germs.
• Squeeze the bottle gently to release the prescribed number of drops into the pocket of your lower lid.
• Close your eyes gently for one to two minutes. Press lightly on the inner corner of your eye near your nose (the tear duct) to prevent the medicine from draining away.
• Do not rub your eye or blink excessively. Wipe away any excess liquid from your cheek with a clean tissue.
• Always follow your doctor's exact instructions regarding how many drops to use and how often to apply them.
   

• Avoid wearing contact lenses until your infection is completely cleared, and your doctor confirms it is safe to wear them again.
• Wash your hands frequently, especially before and after touching your face or applying eye drops, to prevent the spread of bacteria.
• Do not share towels, pillows, eye makeup, or eye drops with anyone else to protect others from getting infected.
• Wear sunglasses when outdoors if your eyes feel sensitive to light during your treatment.
• Keep your eyes rested by limiting screen time on phones, computers, or television while they heal.
   

• Inspect the liquid before use; do not use the drops if the solution is cloudy, discolored, or contains visible particles.
• Never let the tip of the dropper touch your eye, eyelid, or fingers, as this can contaminate the remaining medicine with bacteria.
• If you are using other eye medications, wait at least 10 minutes between applying Cortison Optichlor Ointment 3 gm and your other eye drops or ointments.
• Do not drive, use machinery, or perform activities requiring clear vision until any temporary blurring from the drops has completely cleared.
• Do not use this medicine for longer than your doctor has prescribed, as prolonged use of steroid eye drops can lead to increased eye pressure or secondary infections.
