Opticrom

Opticrom is a leading antihistamine eye-drop brand used to relieve allergy-related eye irritation, redness, itching and watering. Formulated with sodium cromoglicate, Opticrom helps stabilise mast cells in the eye, reducing allergic reactions triggered by pollen, dust, pet dander and environmental irritants. Opticrom is widely used during seasonal allergies, making it a reliable, fast-acting choice for people experiencing itchy or irritated eyes.

What is Opticrom?

Opticrom is an over-the-counter antihistamine eye treatment designed specifically for allergic conjunctivitis. Unlike standard eye drops, it targets the allergic pathway by reducing histamine release in the eye. This makes Opticrom suitable for individuals who struggle with recurring itchiness, burning, watering or redness during hay fever season or indoor allergies. Opticrom sits naturally alongside categories such as allergy eye drops, irritated eyes and eye infections on Welzo.

Why Opticrom Is Important for Allergy-Related Eye Conditions

Hay fever and airborne allergens can cause ongoing discomfort in the eyes. Symptoms such as itching, watering and swelling significantly impact daily comfort.
