Compound
The medicine was developed on the basis of emoxypine.
To improve tissue absorption of the active substance, the following is also used in production:
- methylcellulose;
- sodium sulfite;
- sodium benzoate;
- potassium phosphate;
- injection water.
The finished pharmacological product is packaged in polymer bottles (volumes: 5 and 10 ml).
The top part of the container has a dropper, with which it is easy and simple to administer drops.
Pharmacology
The active component of eye drops has unique physical and chemical properties, due to which the medicine has a diverse effect on the cells and tissues of the organ of vision:
- angioprotective (negative transformations of vessel walls leading to fragility are prevented);
- antioxidant (free radicals are neutralized);
- antihypoxic (the structure of the eye becomes resistant to insufficient oxygen access);
- antiplatelet (stabilizes processes that ensure normal blood microcirculation, prevents the formation of blood clots).
Pharmacological properties
Antioxidant Emoxy-Optic is a drug that prevents peroxidation reactions. It has angioprotective (increases vascular resistance), antiaggregation (prevents platelet aggregation), and antihypoxic (increases tissue resistance to oxygen starvation) activity.
Strengthens the vascular wall, reduces blood viscosity, suppresses free radical processes and has a membrane-stabilizing effect.
As a retinoprotector, Emoxy-optic protects the retina from the damaging effects of intense light. Promotes the resorption of hemorrhages inside the eye, improves microcirculation. In addition, thanks to its action, reparative processes in the cornea are stimulated (including postoperative and postoperative periods).
Price
Emoxy-Optic eye drops are a prescription drug, so you must have a doctor's prescription to purchase them.
You can buy the medicine in pharmacies or online stores, where a prescription is not always required.
The cost of packaging depends on the regional location of the outlet and the dosage of the product. For a 5 ml bottle you will have to pay an average of 113-150 rubles .
Indications for use
Due to their broad action, eye drops are used in ophthalmology to eliminate the symptoms of the following pathologies:
- burns of corneal tissue (the nature of origin does not play a role in this case);
- keratitis;
- hemorrhages in the eyeball;
- myopia (with severe etiology).
The medicine is prescribed for constant wearing of contact lenses, increased eye strain, which is observed in patients working with complex equipment or at a computer.
The largest number of Emoxy-Optic prescriptions is for the elimination of symptoms of the most common ophthalmological disease - cataracts .
To inhibit an intensively developing pathology, in which several processes are disrupted at once, the transparency of the lens is lost, the complex mechanism of action of the medicinal solution is ideal.
Possible complications caused by the drug
When using Emoxy-Optic eye drops, the following undesirable effects may occur:
- Allergic reaction (local);
- Burning and itching sensation;
- Redness of the conjunctiva (passes without the use of therapeutic measures).
How to treat astigmatism in adults Antiallergic and antihistamine eye drops for children are described in this article. Treatment of congestive optic disc is described here.
In circumstances of drug overdose, these side effects may increase. Undesirable consequences of using Emoxy-Optic eye drops disappear after discontinuation of the drug and do not require additional treatment.
Emoxy-optik drops should not be combined with other ophthalmic drugs. If it is necessary to use several types of medications, it is important to instill Emoxy-Optic last, no earlier than a quarter of an hour after the final absorption of the previous medication.
The drug does not affect the ability to drive vehicles or other complex mechanisms.
Instructions for use
The ophthalmic product is designed for topical use, namely for instillation into the eyes.
The manufacturer in the annotation offers the following treatment regimen:
- single dose – 1-2 drops in each eye;
- number of treatments per day – 2-3 times;
- Duration of therapy – from three days to 1 month.
In some cases, it is rational to increase the course of treatment to 3-6 months.
If there are no side effects during the use of the drug, positive dynamics are noted, repeated therapy is recommended. There can be no more than three such repetitions per calendar year.
Side effects
During the study of the drug, rare cases of side effects were identified.
The risk of their development increases if eye drops are used incorrectly or contraindications are ignored.
The body’s negative reaction is expressed in the following symptoms:
- itching, burning;
- redness of the conjunctiva;
- allergic reactions localized on the skin in the eye area or mucous membranes.
Side effects and precautions
Adverse reactions may include:
- severe redness of the eyes;
- tearfulness;
- burning;
- irritation and severe itching.
As a rule, such symptoms occur immediately after instillation and disappear within a few minutes. Analogues of Cyclomed eye drops can be found here.
If a side effect occurs for a long time, you should stop therapy and visit a doctor.
To avoid adverse reactions, you must adhere to the following rules: 1. Do not mix drops with other medications. 2. If you need to use another drug, you need to take a break for about 20 minutes, and then instill Emoxy-Optic. 3. Do not use the drug for children under 18 years of age. 4. Store the medicine according to the instructions. According to the instructions for use of fucithalmic, the drug is prescribed for diseases of a bacterial nature.
Precautionary measures
When using the medicine, the following rules must be observed:
- Before the procedure, wash your hands thoroughly and treat work surfaces with a disinfectant;
- When administering the solution, try not to touch the mucous membrane with the edge of the dropper;
- do not exceed the single and daily dose of the drug;
- plan the use of eye drops at the same hours, systematicity increases the body’s response to exposure to the active component of the drug;
- instillation is carried out behind the lower eyelid in the area of the outer corner of the eye;
- to distribute the liquid evenly, you need to blink several times or make circular turns with the pupil (the head should remain motionless);
- In order for the substance to be better absorbed by the cells and tissues of the eyeball, it is recommended to block the lacrimal opening with your index finger (for 30-50 seconds).
It is important to take into account that a high therapeutic effect can be achieved only when using a solution whose shelf life corresponds to the time of manipulation.
Patient reviews
Andrey, 49 years old:
Diabetes, which I have had for several years, has begun to cause complications. At the first signs of vision deterioration, I consulted an ophthalmologist. The doctor determined the cause - the intensive development of diabetic retinopathy with characteristic damage to the retinal vessels. I am in my third week of therapy using Emoxy-Optic. The treatment regimen involves injecting the solution into each eye three times, 2 drops.
At one of the last appointments, the doctor said that there was no deterioration in the condition of the eye tissues. From independent observations - a sharp decrease in hemorrhage in the sclera. The effectiveness of the product is obvious.
Elena, 31 years old:
Signs of myopia began to appear since school days, but recently the situation has worsened, which was facilitated by working at the computer. After examining and conducting a hardware examination of the eyeball, the ophthalmologist prescribed Emoxy-optic. After a month's course of using drops, the progression was stopped. The specialist recommended repeated treatment after a two-month break.
From my own feelings, I can say that the working day behind the screen is easier, and in the evening I don’t feel the strain in my eyes.
EMOXY-OPTIC (drops)
It is active in the processes of lipid peroxidation in cell membranes, which has angioprotective, antiplatelet and antihypoxic properties.
Its action is to strengthen the vascular wall; reducing capillary permeability; reduce platelet aggregation and reduce blood viscosity; suppress the formation of free radicals and stabilize membranes; increase the resistance of eye tissue to oxygen deficiency. Emoxy optic protects the retina and other eye tissues from damage from excessively bright light. Promotes the resorption of hemorrhages inside the eye, thins the blood and improves microcirculation. Activates reparative processes in the cornea (in the post-traumatic and postoperative periods). Why does my friend like these drops? Let's start with the fact that my friend's vision is -2.5 and she has a problem with the blood vessels in her eyes. Using these drops in combination with a relaxing massage, she noticed that her vision improved slightly. She attributes this to the fact that the drops improve blood flow. Of course, this prospect seemed tempting to me, especially since I heard about such an effect from a “live” person, and not from an advertisement, so I decided to try it, although I was aware that I had a more advanced case and a sharp “insight.” " will not happen. This is what the packaging of these miracle drops looks like: The drops are sold in a cardboard box, from which you can see some information about the drug, such as its composition and information about the manufacturer. Inside the box we have this: There is a bottle with drops, closed with a metal cap, a pipette cap, as well as instructions for use.
To start using the drops, you must first remove the metal cap from the bottle. Behind it lies a rubber cap, which also needs to be removed. Then you need to put on the pipette and the drops are ready for use:
After use, you can close the pipette with a cap, which must be separated from the pipette:
Now let's look at the instructions.
So, the composition of the drug:
Pharmachologic effect:
Pharmacokinetics, as well as indications for use:
As you can see, drops are used for different types of hemorrhages. There are other indications for use, as well as contraindications:
It is also used for corneal replenishment and burns, complications of myopia, and is also used as corneal protection when wearing contact lenses.
Please note that the manufacturer does not recommend these drops for pregnant and lactating women, as well as persons under 18 years of age. Although, after reading the comments of some doctors on the Internet, you can see that in some cases this drug is used for children, despite the instructions, but the pediatrician himself must say this. The following is the release form of the drug:
And finally, expiration date, storage conditions, as well as information about the manufacturer:
Now about the drops themselves. Let's start with the fact that I want to warn you right away - the drops are very hot. To understand how much, imagine the “evil” onions that you need to chop. It burns strongly, especially at first and when you’re not used to it. But this feeling lasts only 5-10 seconds. However, you can significantly reduce the feeling of discomfort if you close your eyes immediately after instillation and do not open them for a few seconds. Your eyes will water. Over time, the eyes get used to it and do not react too violently.
Now about the personal effect. Drops do an excellent job with eye redness. Moreover, if the redness is not too strong, then the effect is noticeable within a few minutes. After use, the eyes feel some kind of refreshment, fatigue disappears. I’m already using my second bottle, after the first I took a break for about a month. I drip once a day in the morning, sometimes in the evening. I don’t wear contact lenses right away. I really want to feel at least a slight improvement in my vision, so I will continue to use these drops from time to time, especially since there are a lot of positive reviews about them. I recommend trying it!
Reviews from doctors
A. A. Matveeva, practicing doctor with 23 years of experience:
In my practice, Emoxy-Optic is effective in treating dryness, eye irritation, and damage to the mucous membranes by chemicals (chemical burns). The cost of the medicine is lower in comparison with Emoxipine, but in terms of pharmacological properties it is not inferior at all.
S. T. Semenov, ophthalmologist with 12 years of experience:
The ophthalmic drug is especially popular among ophthalmologists due to its mild action and minimal list of side effects. Drops can be rationally used to relieve unpleasant symptoms in case of various injuries to the organ of vision, hemorrhages in the sclera, and other pathologies.
The main contraindications to the use of the solution are age under 18 years and a tendency to allergies.
Indications
The drug Emoxi can be prescribed in the following cases:
- in the treatment of hemorrhages in the anterior chamber of the eye;
- during treatment and in the prevention of hemorrhages in the sclera (usually for older people);

Analogs
An absolute analogue of the ophthalmic drug is Emoxipin , which can be seen in the identical active ingredient, indications and rules for using the medicine.
When studying the annotations for Emoxipin and Emoxy-Optic, it is difficult to immediately understand how the drugs differ.
But upon closer examination of the substances used as auxiliaries, small discrepancies .
They do not have any effect on the pharmacological properties, but can cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, before purchasing a product, you need to study the composition in order to eliminate the risk of a negative reaction from the body.
It is impossible to answer which of the drugs under consideration is better, since in essence they are the same pharmacological product. The difference is noted in the manufacturers and degree of purification of chemical compounds.
An increased concentration of one of the components of the drug is considered safe for some patients and provokes allergies in others. Only a qualified specialist can understand this case.
Emoxy-optic can be replaced by other means.
Among the popular ones:
- Makulin;
- Visomitin;
- Dexon;
- Oftensin;
- Tobrimed.
You should not select an alternative option on your own due to the risk of developing complications that can lead to complete loss of vision.
