Eyestream Eye Wash Information

Eyestream Eye Wash (Calcium Chloride/Magnesium Chloride/Potassium Chloride/Sodium Chloride) reduces eye irritation by flushing out foreign particles from the eye. Pollen, dust, sawdust, and smoke are foreign particles that can cause eye irritation. Eyestream eye wash is also used for eye irrigation after a minor surgery or diagnostic procedure. The medicine may also neutralize and wash away chemicals that may have splashed into the eyes. Ophthalmic irrigating solutions like Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, and Sodium Chloride soothe and refresh irritated eyes. They also dilute and neutralize chemicals, reducing potential damage to the eyes.
