Ocurest-AH Eye Drops is used to treat allergic conjunctivitis (eye allergy) and computer vision syndrome (digital eye strain).

Decongestants such as phenylephrine and naphazoline constrict or narrow the blood vessels in the eye, which reduces inflammation (redness and swelling). An antiallergic drug called chlorpheniramine maleate prevents the release of particular chemical messengers that cause red, itchy, and watery eyes. Menthol and camphor contribute to the cooling effect on the eye. Together, Ocurest-AH Eye Drops aids in easing the symptoms of an eye allergy.
