Rohto Cool Eye Wash

Rohto Cool Eye Wash contains materials and components and is presented as a healthcare product. It is supplied in a pack size of 150ml.

It is classified as an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Wash your hands and rinse the eyewash cup with clean water before use. Fill the cup to the marked line with the eye wash solution, tilt your head forward, press the cup firmly against the eye socket to form a seal, then tilt your head back and blink several times so the solution rinses across the eye. Discard the used solution from the cup, rinse the cup with clean water, and repeat for the other eye with a fresh fill if needed, using a clean portion of solution for each eye to avoid cross-contamination. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before rinsing and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Use the eye wash 1 to 3 times a day as needed, using the eyewash cup provided to rinse each affected eye thoroughly. There is no fixed daily maximum stated by the manufacturer, but this product is intended for occasional rinsing rather than continuous use; if eye discomfort, redness, or irritation persists despite regular rinsing, or if you suspect an infection, allergy, or foreign body, stop relying on the eye wash alone and see a doctor or optometrist.

Use before the expiry date printed on the bottle. Because this product contains a preservative and is intended for repeated multi-dose use, still follow any in-use discard period printed on the packaging once opened, and do not continue using the bottle beyond that stated time or the printed expiry date, whichever comes first.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, at room temperature, and out of the reach of children. Keep the bottle and eyewash cup clean and dry between uses, and discard the product if the solution becomes cloudy, discoloured, or if the seal was broken before first use.

• Common: mild, brief stinging or a cooling/tingling sensation during the rinse.
• Common: temporary blurred vision immediately after use.
• Uncommon: eye redness or irritation, particularly with very frequent use, which may relate to sensitivity to the preservative in some users.
• Serious: persistent eye pain, worsening redness, discharge, or vision changes, which need prompt medical assessment rather than continued rinsing.

• Known hypersensitivity to benzalkonium chloride, boric acid, sodium borate, or any other ingredient in the formulation.
• Do not use if the bottle’s tamper-evident seal is broken or missing, or if the eyewash cup is cracked or damaged.
• Do not use while wearing contact lenses; remove them first and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.

• No clinically significant drug or food interactions are known, as this eye wash acts locally by rinsing and is not absorbed systemically in meaningful amounts.
• Frequent, prolonged use of benzalkonium chloride-preserved eye products can itself contribute to eye surface irritation in some people, so this product should be used for occasional rinsing rather than as a continuous daily eye drop replacement.
• There are no known food or drink restrictions associated with using this product.

• Always rinse the eyewash cup with clean water before and after each use to keep it hygienic.
• Use a separate fill of solution for each eye to avoid transferring debris or infection from one eye to the other.
• Remove contact lenses before rinsing and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
• Use this product for occasional rinsing of dust, pollen, or irritants rather than as a substitute for lubricating eye drops if your main concern is chronic dryness.
• Do not share your eyewash cup or bottle with other people to avoid cross-contamination.
• See a doctor or optometrist if redness, pain, or discomfort continues despite rinsing, or if you notice discharge or vision changes.

Precautions: This product is a rinse/wash rather than a lubricating eye drop or a medicated treatment. Contact lens wearers should remove lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Because it contains benzalkonium chloride as a preservative, people with known sensitivity to preservatives, or those who need to rinse their eyes very frequently, may prefer to check with a pharmacist about a preservative-free alternative. Supervise use in young children.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: See a doctor, optometrist, or pharmacist if eye discomfort, redness, or irritation does not improve after rinsing, if it worsens, or if you develop eye pain, discharge, sensitivity to light, or any change in vision, as these need proper assessment rather than repeated washing.
