About Vicamide Plus Eye Drop
Vicamide Plus Eye Drop belongs to the class of medications called ‘Ophthalmic agents’ used for examining the eye during the diagnosis or detection of any eye disease, or therapeutic procedures. It can help detect eye inflammation or any other eye diseases such as uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eyewall) or in ophthalmoscopy procedures (retinal examination) or during eye surgeries.
Vicamide Plus Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Tropicamide and Phenylephrine. Tropicamide is an anticholinergic, while Phenylephrine is a decongestant. They work by making the pupil of your eye larger and relaxing the muscles in your eye. This allows proper examination of the inside of your eye.
Vicamide Plus Eye Drop is for external use only. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Vicamide Plus Eye Drop are headache, dizziness, blurred vision, photophobia (sensitivity to light), eye pain, eye irritation, burning or stinging sensation in the eye, skin rash, hypotension (low blood pressure) and nausea (feeling sick). Inform your doctor if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.
Do not take Vicamide Plus Eye Drop if you are allergic to Tropicamide, Phenylephrine or any contents of it. Before taking Vicamide Plus Eye Drop, inform your doctor if you have glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye), heart diseases, hypertension (high blood pressure), hormonal disorders, thyroid problems, diabetes and tachycardia (increased heart rate). Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting Vicamide Plus Eye Drop. It should not be used in children below 1 year.

Eye diseases: Eye diseases are of a wide variety ranging from minor eye problems that don't last long such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and major conditions that can lead to blindness such as glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye). Some examples of eye diseases that require diagnostic procedures are refractive errors (near-sightedness and farsightedness), cataracts (clouding of the eye), and glaucoma.
