This swelling can make your vision blurry and may cause discomfort. It can happen if the cornea gets hurt, if you have certain eye problems, or if you've had eye surgery.

What is the difference between Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Eye Ointment 5% and Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Eye Solution 5%?

The main difference between Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Eye Ointment 5% and Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Eye Solution 5% lies in their formulation and application method.

Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Eye Ointment 5%:
- Formulation: The ointment is a semi-solid, viscous substance that typically comes in a tube. It is composed of active ingredients, such as sodium chloride, and a base that provides a lubricating effect.
- Application: The ointment is applied externally to the lower eyelid. It adheres to the eye surface, gradually melting and spreading across the eye as the individual blinks. It provides prolonged lubrication and relief from dryness.

Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Eye Solution 5%:
- Formulation: The solution is a liquid form of the medication. It usually comes in a bottle with a dropper or a sterile single-use vial. It contains the active ingredient, sodium chloride, dissolved in a sterile saline solution.
- Application: The solution is applied directly into the eye by instilling drops. It is typically used for short-term relief of eye dryness or as a rinse for the eye to flush out foreign particles or irritants.

Both the Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Eye Ointment 5% and Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Eye Solution 5% serve the purpose of providing relief from eye dryness and irritation. The choice between the ointment and solution depends on individual preferences, severity of symptoms, and the recommendations of a healthcare professional. Some people may prefer the ointment for its longer-lasting effect, while others may find the solution more convenient for frequent use throughout the day.
