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

HA2 Eye Drop contains Homatropine, which is anticholinergic in nature. Homatropine helps treat uveitis by relaxing the muscles of the coloured part of the eye (Iris) and hence dilating (enlarging) the pupil of the eye. It helps in reducing pain and inflammation. If a doctor has to examine the eye, using HA2 Eye Drop helps better examine the problem as the pupil becomes enlarged.
