How Optec KT Eye Drop works
Optec KT Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Ketorolac and Olopatadine, which relieves eye itching/discomfort caused by seasonal allergies. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling) in the eye. Olopatadine is an antiallergic which blocks the action of certain chemical messengers responsible for red, itchy, watery eyes.
