Murine Irritation & Red Eye Drops is an over-the-counter soothing and redness-relieving eye drop solution. Its active ingredient is Naphazoline Hydrochloride (0.012% w/v).
It is used to quickly clear redness and soothe minor eye irritation caused by dusty or smoky environments, wind, swimming, screen strain, pollen, or sun glare.
Naphazoline Hydrochloride is a targeted decongestant for the eyes:
Reduces Redness Quickly: It gently constricts (narrows) the swollen, enlarged blood vessels on the surface of the eye.
Restores Clear Appearance: By shrinking blood vessels, it rapidly clears redness and calms bloodshot, tired, or irritated eyes.
🚨 Rebound Redness Caution: Do not use these drops for more than 3 to 4 consecutive days.
Overusing eye decongestant drops can cause "rebound hyperemia"—where your eye blood vessels swell even more, making redness worse when you stop using it.
🚨 Contact Lens Warning: Remove contact lenses before applying the drops.
Wait at least 15 minutes after using the drops before reinserting soft contact lenses, as preservatives in eye drops can absorb into lenses and cause irritation.
🚨 Glaucoma Warning: Do not use this product if you have narrow-angle glaucoma or severe eye conditions without consulting an eye specialist or doctor first.
Recommended Dosage: Put 1 or 2 drops into the affected eye(s), up to 3 or 4 times daily as needed.
Keep the Tip Clean: Wash your hands before use. Do not touch the dropper tip against your eye, fingers, or any surface to prevent contamination.
How to Apply: Tilt your head back, pull down your lower eyelid to form a small pocket, look upward, and gently squeeze 1 or 2 drops into the pocket. Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes.
If eye redness, pain, or irritation does not improve after 24 to 48 hours, or if vision changes occur, stop using the drops and see an eye doctor immediately.
