Opti Zee 0.056%/0.01% Eye Drop is a blend of two drugs: Naphazoline and Chlorpheniramine Maleate which performs its action by relieving eye itching and discomfort caused by allergies. Naphazoline is a decongestant which acts by narrowing blood vessels of the eye to relieve swelling. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic which obstructs the action of specific chemical messengers responsible for red, itchy, teary eyes.
