Visine Allergy Eye Drops 15ml - Redness and Itch Relief
Visine Allergy Eye Drops combine naphazoline hydrochloride 0.025% with pheniramine maleate 0.3% in a 15ml bottle. The two work on different parts of the problem: the antihistamine addresses the allergic itch, and the decongestant constricts the surface blood vessels that make an allergic eye look red.

Why Visine Allergy eye drops are for short-term use
The decongestant component is the reason there is a time limit. Naphazoline narrows the blood vessels on the surface of the eye, which works quickly - but used for more than a few days in a row it produces rebound redness, where the eye becomes redder than it started once the drop wears off, and the user keeps reaching for the bottle. Follow the duration stated on the pack and stop if symptoms are not settling. Some people should check with a pharmacist or doctor first: anyone with glaucoma or raised eye pressure, anyone with heart disease, high blood pressure or thyroid disease, and anyone using other eye medication. Remove contact lenses before instilling and follow the pack on when they can go back in. See a doctor promptly for eye pain, vision change, discharge, or an injury - redness with those symptoms is not a job for an allergy drop.
Common uses
Seasonal and environmental allergy, hay fever season, and eyes irritated by pollen, dust or animal dander. Keep it with your first aid supplies, or browse related medical supplies at MediBC.
Visine Allergy Eye Drops FAQs
What is in Visine Allergy eye drops?
Naphazoline hydrochloride 0.025%, a decongestant that reduces redness, and pheniramine maleate 0.3%, an antihistamine that addresses the allergic itch.
How long can you use them for?
Short term only, following the duration on the pack. Prolonged use of a decongestant drop causes rebound redness, where the eye becomes redder once the drop wears off.
Can you wear contact lenses with them?
Remove lenses before instilling the drops and follow the pack for when they can be reinserted. Ask your optometrist if you wear lenses daily.
Who should not use them?
Check with a pharmacist or doctor first if you have glaucoma or raised eye pressure, heart disease, high blood pressure or thyroid disease, or if you use other eye medications.
When should red eyes be seen by a doctor?
If there is pain, any change in vision, discharge, light sensitivity, or an injury. Redness alone from allergy is one thing; redness with those symptoms needs assessment.
