Yes, by hydrating your eyes, Optive Eye Drops?can help reduce dryness and irritation. They offer short-term relief from dry, itchy, strained eyes, but if your eyes hurt, are really red, or your symptoms don't go away, consult an eye doctor to be sure there isn't another issue.

Question 2

I experience dry eyes; my eyesight works fine temporarily but later becomes weak.

Dr Y Thulasi · Accepted Answer

After blinking or relaxing, dry eyes might temporarily cause weak or blurry vision. To rule out other causes, apply lubricating eye drops, take screen breaks, and contact an eye doctor if the issue continues.

Question 3

I had a herpes issue, but now it's okay; however, my eye is still red. I've been using Optive drops, but there is no result.

Dr Y Thulasi · Accepted Answer

After a herpes infection, persistent redness in the eyes may be a sign of recurrence or persistent inflammation, and lubricating drops like Optive might not be sufficient on their own. You may require antiviral or anti-inflammatory medication to prevent eye injury, therefore you should consult an ophthalmologist as away.

After LASIK, dry eyes might last for months, especially if you use screens for extended periods of time. Over time, they normally get better. Regularly use artificial tears without preservatives, and if your problems persist, see your eye doctor because more treatments might be required.

Question 6

I've had a headache every day, and my eyes feel stressed since last week. I had LASIK two years ago and my vision is fine, but my eyes feel strained.

Dr Y Thulasi · Accepted Answer

Even years after LASIK, persistent screen time or dry eyes are common causes of daily headaches and eye strain. If the headaches continue, apply lubricating eye drops, take frequent breaks from screens, and consult an ophthalmologist.

Question 7

My eyes become dry after using contact lenses. What treatment can you suggest for dry eyes?

Dr Y Thulasi · Accepted Answer

Question 8

I ordered Optive Fusion 5 MG Eye Drops, but the chemist offered me Optive 5 MG Eye Drops. Is it okay to choose the latter, or should I stick with Optive Fusion?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Optive and Optive Fusion are not the same. Optive Fusion contains an extra lubricant (HA) that many people find more soothing for dry eyes. If your doctor recommended Optive Fusion, it?s better to stick with that. If not, you can confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching.

Question 9

Can I use Optive 5 MG Eye Drop instead of Optive Fusion 5 MG Eye Drop, or is there a difference between them?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Optive Eye Drops help with mild dryness, while Optive Fusion is stronger; it combines extra moisturisers and lubricants for longer relief, especially if your eyes are very dry or irritated. For mild dryness, Optive may be enough, but if your symptoms are persistent, Optive Fusion works better.
