When it comes to Japan, we have to talk about advanced technologies in many fields. Especially in the field of medicine and healthy scientific living. For Japanese people, their work is quite heavy, they work very hard, so it creates a lot of burden for their eyes. In Japan, you can find almost everywhere, everyone uses eye drops. With strict control of quality and safety in the post-production stage, so almost all eye drops in Japan are sold freely and do not require a doctor’s prescription. To be widely sold, most products must be certified and pass clinical tests. As someone who has lived and worked in Japan, I would like to give some useful advice when using Japanese eye drops as follows:

Who might need Japanese eye drops?

As I said above, there are few places that surpass Japan in the field of science and medicine; there are few places that surpass Japan in medical standards, quality, and safety; there are few places where people work as hard as Japan. That is why products from Japan are always the top products, especially in AGAM99 . Therefore, choosing to use Japanese eye drops is of high quality and safe.

So who should use it?

If in the past, in Vietnam there were not many computers, laptops, smart phones, then perhaps not many people paid attention to daily eye care. Usually, only when there was an eye disease or eye pain would people buy a bottle of eye drops or wash their eyes. However, with the speed of development, almost everyone has to come into contact with many things that affect the eyes. Such as light from laptop screens, televisions, phones, neon lights, … Air pollution, dust, heat, … Not to mention the increasing working hours, the pressure is also increasing. Therefore, if you belong to the following main group, you should immediately have an anti-fatigue eye drop product in your bag or desk:

• You have symptoms of eye and corneal inflammation.
• Red eyes.
• Eye strain.
• Eye irritation, dry eyes.
• People who work on computers and smartphones a lot: office workers, IT, designers, gamers,…
• People who work and study for long periods of time.
• People exposed to dusty environments and traffic jams while driving.
• The elderly have weak eyes, watery eyes, blurred eyes.

How to choose the right Japanese eye drops?

Which brand of eye drops to choose?

Currently in Japan there are many famous brands of eye drops. Choosing to use Japanese eye drops is sometimes quite difficult. However, in my opinion, there are 2 brands that many people choose: Rohto and Santen . Of course, you have to be careful about genuine and fake products, because the market in Vietnam is now quite complicated.

How to choose Japanese eye drops based on reasonable price?

In recent years, the investment in eye drops has been quite large. Many large companies have spent millions of dollars to research and develop eye care products . Currently, according to my research, there are two quite expensive types: Medical 12 for $25 and Medical Gard for about $27. Many products have been used in ophthalmic treatments .

In my opinion, you should consider your budget because products from Japan are quite expensive. If your budget is limited, you can use products that have been linked with companies in Vietnam such as Sancoba, Rohto .

Choose Japanese eye drops according to function?

Currently, in the Vietnamese market, there are many shops and online sellers who write incorrectly about the functions of Japanese domestic eye drops. They rely on the fact that the product has little information or is entirely in Japanese to deceive customers . For example, many shops write that Sancoba, a Japanese domestic product, can cure myopia, but in fact it only reduces eye strain and helps reduce the increase in degree.

In terms of function, they are usually divided into types such as: Eye cleaning, eye allergies, anti-eye fatigue, eye pain, red eyes, etc. In addition, you should pay attention to the use of Japanese eye drops when using contact lenses . Most types such as eye cleaning, anti-eye fatigue can be used by everyone.

Can eye drops be used in children?

Even adults are very careful with eye care products. They are careful in choosing the manufacturer, place of sale, storage method, ingredients, etc. That is why eye drops are extremely safe and gentle for children. In Japan, most eye drops can be used for children over 1 year old . However, according to the experience of many people, if not really necessary, they should not be used regularly for children under 3 years old . If used, they should be used in smaller doses and less frequently than usual.

According to observation and research, in Japan there are some eye drops for children such as: Kodomo, Nisamitsu ,… This is one of the products that many people trust for children. These products mostly have the following characteristics:

• Concern for children’s health in general
• Pay attention to children’s physiology.
• Minimal harm to children’s eyes.
• Does not cause allergies or eye inflammation.
• For good effect and eye protection for children.

In Vietnam, when choosing eye drops for children , whether choosing Japanese domestic products or Vietnamese products, you should consult an ophthalmologist . In my opinion, you should not consult small drug stores because sometimes their expertise is not enough to give the right advice. If possible, you should choose a large, reputable store with good products and consultants who do not idolize the product .

How to preserve Japanese eye drops when using?

Expiry date of eye drops

First, everyone must understand the issue of expiration dates of eye drops in general. Using eye drops must know about the two expiration dates of eye drops .

1. Expiry date of unopened eye drops : Usually printed on the box or bottle of eye drops.
2. Expiry date of eye drops after opening : Few companies write this. According to recommendations, once opened, it should be used within 4-5 weeks.

Therefore, when one of the two expiration dates expires, you must stop using it, regardless of whether there is much left or not.

Consider buying types under 15ml to save money and ensure the best quality. For example: Sancoba 0.02% 5ml, Rohto Vita 40 12ml

Storing eye drops

When storing or preserving eye drops, keep them in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight . Light and high temperatures can change the chemical composition of the drug. Eye drops should be stored between 5-30 degrees Celsius .

“Anytime you see a change in color, residue, etc. of the product, you must stop using it.”

Keep out of reach of children.

Yes, many people even give it to children as a toy. Usually, eye drops are very beautiful and colorful. Therefore, children can take it and make it dirty, suck it, swallow it, choke on it, etc. That is a bad thing for children as well as others who use it next time. We recommend keeping it out of reach of children and teaching children not to play with things in the medicine cabinet.

Some other notes when using Japanese eye drops

Some people when using Japanese eye drops for the first time or after a long time will feel a slight pain in the eyes. But please do not worry, it shows that the mucous membrane of the eye is too dry, tired or lacks nutrients . This is a normal reaction when the eyes are weak. This symptom will gradually subside when you use it regularly.
