Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Medicinal Benefits

Cooleye Eye Drop is an 'ophthalmic medication,' primarily used to treat allergic diseases of the eye. It helps to treat swelling, redness of the eye, and temporary relief from the eye's discomfort and burning. Phenylephrine and naphazoline present in Cooleye Eye Drop are decongestants, both working by narrowing the eye's blood vessels to reduce inflammation. Menthol and camphor help to provide a cooling effect to the eye and reduces discomfort and pain.
