Optrex Infected Eyes

I'm sitting here feeling very sorry for myself, so thought I may as well channel it into a review! Warning, this story is so very sad, that it might just make you cry. Or perhaps I'm being a little melodramatic but here goes... Since my little girl started nursery in September, not a fortnight has gone by without her catching something, and then subsequently me catching it off her. It's a continuous loop of nasty bugs and viruses, only enhanced by the strict "don't keep your kids off school when they are ill or we will send social service round" rule, meaning all the kids take their germs in and pass them on. This weeks illness, along with ...  Read the complete review

I've recently had two bouts of conjunctivitis about four months apart in my right eye. The first time I took the trip to the doctors and was prescribed eye ointment. However when I went to the pharmacy, I was told that this was cheaper and what I would have been given anyway. It worked a wonder and cleared up in a few days. When it returned it saved a lot of time, I bypassed the docs, saving them time and went straight to the pharmacy and got this. The above has two major benefits. Obviously, you're saving yourself time by not sitting for an hour or two (if your surgery is anything like mine) and you're also performing the valuable task of not wasting your ...  Read the complete review

Being a teacher has its pros and cons. The major disadvantages for me are all of the germs that spread around the classroom with sneezing, coughing etc. ~ My Experience ~ This leads me on to how I recently suffered from conjunctivitis. One of the little 'darling's' Mum sent her in with a very nasty looking eye, all watery and gunky, it then spread to two other members of the class and I was the third victim and it's not a pleasant thing to have especially when you get it on a Saturday morning having planned a big night out! Typical that I got it on a weekend! I woke up with a horrendous gritty feeling in my eye and constant ...  Read the complete review

I have a fringe called 'Fredrick' who I love very much! The trouble is he is an 'emo' style fringe that covers one eye so that eye had gotten pretty weak and I've had a few bad eye infections in it. The first eye infection ended up in both eyes so I had to go to the doctors with it where I was prescribed antibiotic drops to use for a week. The second time I got an infection it was in my right eye hidden under my hair and that time I got the same eye drops from the chemist on a Minor Ailments form as the pharmacist checked it out and said it was conjunctivitis again... 'Optex Infected Eyes' was prescribed which contains Chloramphenicol to ...  Read the complete review

I first heard about Optrex for Infected Eyes when I visited my GP with a particularly nasty case of conjunctivitis (gunky eyes which were hot and red and felt as if they were full of bits of sand). He was going to write me a prescription for the active ingredient in these eye drops then said "Oh actually, there is a product which has just come out and it isn't on prescription- ask the pharmacist for it" and he recommended I find this as it would be cheaper than the prescription. I went into my local Asda pharmacy and asked for this- the pharmacist brought it out of one of their fridges and sold me it over the counter. It costs around £4.99 for a ...  Read the complete review
