UK Recommended eye drops?

[mstar82]

Many of the eye drops quoted here are not available in the UK. Does anyone I'm the UK recommend any? Been told I should be using them hourly but Dr said he wasn't allowed to recommend a particular brand. Ive been using optive so far and viscotears st night.

Your local NHS Primary Care Trust website should have a list of NHS supplied eyedrops. A local pharmacist and GP also has this list and you have a right to access it.

Moorfields Pharmaceuticals supply more prescription eyedrops than are available through the local NHS PCT, including equivalents of some US prescription eyedrops.

It is important to use preservative-free eyedrops to avoid eye surface damage from eg benzalkonium chloride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOAkmt7RTYk
