Rft DS 1% Eye Drop is an eye lubricant used to relieve dryness and discomfort in the eyes. Dryness may occur when your eyes do not produce enough natural tears to keep them moist. This medicine helps soothe irritation, burning, and a gritty sensation by maintaining proper lubrication of the eye surface.
Rft DS 1% Eye Drop is usually used as often as needed or as directed by your doctor. Apply the recommended amount, and wait at least 5–10 minutes before applying any other eye medication to avoid dilution. Do not use the product if the seal is broken. Always wash your hands before use and avoid touching the tip to prevent contamination or eye infection.
Common side effects include mild eye irritation (including burning or discomfort) and increased tear secretion. These effects are usually short-lived. However, inform your doctor if they persist, worsen, or if your symptoms do not improve. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require clear vision until your eyesight returns to normal after application.
Rft DS 1% Eye Drop is not known to interact with other medicines, but inform your doctor if you have a history of eye diseases such as glaucoma. If you develop eye pain, redness, swelling, or signs of infection, stop using the medicine and contact your doctor promptly.
Dry eyes occur when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation, burning, redness, and a gritty sensation. Rft DS 1% Eye Drop acts like artificial tears by adding moisture to the eyes and forming a protective layer on the surface. This helps relieve dryness, soothes irritation, and improves comfort. Overall, it keeps the eyes lubricated and prevents damage caused by prolonged dryness.
