- Honey natural. Being a natural storehouse of vitamins and microelements, natural honey participates in the normalization of metabolic processes in the body and even improves the blood composition - the main agent of nutrients. Possessing strong antimicrobial properties, honey prevents the development of infections and suppresses the vital activity of already introduced microbes;
- Aloe extract. The high content of aloe vera polysaccharides and glycoproteins in the aloe vera juice provides a number of medicinal properties: regenerating, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating. The use of a medicinal plant in the extracts of juice increases these properties at times;
- Riboflavin (vitamin B₂).One of the most important vitamins, as it is a part of most redox enzymes. Lack of vitamin reflects on the condition of the skin, nails, hair, functionality of the thyroid gland;
- Pyridoxine (vitamin B₆).One of the important elements involved in metabolic processes, the synthesis of hemoglobin, adrenaline, serotonin, histamine, lipid synthesis and the formation of glucose. The lack of a vitamin is fraught with headaches, memory disorders, anemia, impaired functionality of the vascular system;
- Lycopene. Carotenoid pigment, which enters the body only with food: tomatoes and products from them, watermelon, dog rose, guava, grapefruit. The therapeutic effect of lycopene is antioxidant, as well as preventing the development of cancer diseases (by neutralizing ionizing radiation);
- Benzalkonium chloride. A synthetic substance with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and fulfilling the role of a preservative in the preparation.
Okapin eye drops are a brand-name development of Russian scientists and released on the market after years of testing in the country's leading clinics. This drug is actually a vitamin make-up for the eyes, especially in demand among people who spend more than 6 hours a day in front of the computer.
Indications and contraindications
Ocapin drops are used to treat most inflammatory processes of the eye: conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, meibomites, blepharoconjunctivitis, etc. In addition, the drug is successfully used for prevention and treatment under the following conditions:
- Injuries of the eye(mechanical, chemical, radiation);
- Glaucoma- decreased visual function due to optic nerve atrophy with elevated IOP;
- Cataract- clouding of the lens, most often caused by age-related changes;
- Syndrome of a "dry" eye- a violation of the production of internal moisture or a change in its chemical composition;
- Vitreous turbidity- the appearance in the field of view of various extraneous objects (flies, points, nodules, ). Most often caused by age-related changes;
- Retinal dystrophy- destruction of retinal tissues with reduced visual acuity. In most cases - age-related pathology.

Contraindications
Since the drug is almost entirely composed of natural ingredients, the list of contraindications is limited to one item: increased sensitivity to the components of the drug.
Special care should be taken for people with a tendency to allergic reactions, since the composition contains components with a high level of allergenicity.
Even if the drug is used for preventive purposes, the consultation of an ophthalmologist is mandatory, since the eyes are a particularly delicate structure and extremely important. Therefore, any impact on them should be justified.
In pregnancy
As Okapin drops are a natural remedy, its safety is beyond doubt. The only negative moment can occur with hypersensitivity in pregnant women to the components of the drug.And in the period of gestation, such susceptibility can increase several times, as the body undergoes hormonal reorganization and is extremely sensitive to any external changes.Therefore, if you want to "back up" your eyes do not forget to enlist the approval of an ophthalmologist.
To small children

Perhaps your child will find a more suitable means in accordance with the individual characteristics of his health.
Possible complications caused by the drug
Since the composition contains components with increased allergenicity, the side effects may be associated with increased sensitivity to these substances.If undesirable reactions occur, stop taking drops immediately and seek medical attention.

conclusions
Among numerous reviews, both doctors and patients, there are almost equal numbers of positive and negative evaluations of the drug. Sometimes users complain about the lack of any effect.
The composition of eye drops Okapin predetermines their complete safety, and otherwise, as well as under the influence of any product or drug, the reaction can be highly individual. Moreover, the result is not immediately apparent, since the action of the drug has an effect on metabolic processes.
Therefore, if you want to use the new development, do not be too lazy to consult an ophthalmologist and get a competent consultation regarding the compliance of the drug to the state of your eyes.
