Ophthalmic decongestants are a class of topical sympathomimetic agents, primarily adrenergic receptor agonists such as tetrahydrozoline, naphazoline, phenylephrine, and low-dose brimonidine.
They stimulate ocular alpha-adrenergic receptors, inducing local vasoconstriction of conjunctival and episcleral blood vessels.
This mechanism reduces vascular permeability and engorgement to temporarily relieve noninfectious conjunctival hyperemia.
The class is predominantly used for the symptomatic relief of eye redness and mild irritation secondary to allergic conjunctivitis, environmental exposures, or general ocular surface discomfort.
