Description

The present invention relates to an ophthalmic product and its use.

Conventionally, iodine-containing preparations containing iodine and polyvinyl alcohol have been used as ophthalmic agents for the purpose of sterilization, cleaning and the like. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an eye drop containing iodine and polyvinyl alcohol.

By the way, iodine is not only extremely unstable to light, heat and air, but also easily adsorbs to the inner wall of the container. Therefore, the iodine-containing preparation has a problem that the iodine content tends to decrease during the storage period. Therefore, the iodine-containing preparation is generally stored in a cold storage and cold-distributed in a brown glass bottle that does not easily adsorb iodine and can be shielded from light.
