Brolene eye drops can be used by children and adults over the age of 12 years to treat minor eye and eyelid infections such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis. These eye drops come as a liquid solution in a small bottle with a simple to use dropper top, making them easy to use even when you are on the go.
Brolene eye drops contain the active ingredient propamidine isetionate 0.1%. Propamidine isetionate disinfects the eye cleaning out and prevents further growth of bacterias and fungi that may be causing your eye or eyelid to become infected.
Contact lenses can become discoloured when using Brolene eye drops and can often aggravate eye infections making the symptoms worse. It is therefore recommended that you should avoid wearing any type of contact lense while using Brolene eye drops.
If you are unable to not use your contact lenses during treatment you need to remove them to apply the eye drops and then wait at least 15 minutes before inserting more soft lenses. Hard lenses must not be used during treatment.
Brolene eye drops also contain an ingredient called benzalkonium chloride which can irritate the eyes. It is not uncommon for people who use Brolene eyes to report some mild stinging when applying the drops. This sensation should only last a few minutes and you should then notice your eyes feel more comfortable.
