Can I buy some drops from the Pharmacy for my kids red eye and watering in an emergency. ?

No.

Absolutely No.

You are playing with danger.

The commonest causes of Red eyes and watering are Bacterial Infection or  Allergic Conjunctivitis or mild allergy or foreign body in eye or injury or  Stye or Chalazion ……. Or even need for glasses.

There are the common causes. There could be hundreds of uncommon causes.

The young boy at the Pharmacy counter did not spend 5 years in a Medical School learning about the above conditions and their treatment.

The treatment of each is vastly different and wrong treatment could cause worsening and prolonging your kids condition.

The Pharmacy for business reasons will give you the drops which give them best profit margins.

And as a Kids Eye Doctor we have noticed absolutely wrong drops and harmful drops being given.

Also do not use any old drops that are lying around in your house.

The reasons are the same as above.
