Ophth Pred Eye Drops: Effective Relief for Eye Inflammation

Ophth Pred eye drops are designed to reduce irritation, redness, and swelling caused by eye inflammation due to chemicals, heat, radiation, infection, or foreign bodies. This medication is part of the steroid class and works by changing the way the immune system responds to inflammation, thereby preventing swelling and redness.

How to Use Ophth Pred Eye Drops
