Hay fever season or year-round allergies — Opticrom Allergy Single Dose Eye Drops are a trusted anti-allergy medicine for keeping itchy, watery, red and inflamed eyes under control. Each hygienic, preservative-free single-dose container delivers sodium cromoglicate 2% w/v (20 mg/ml) — a proven mast-cell stabiliser that helps prevent the release of histamine and other allergy mediators in the eye, relieving symptoms at their source.
