Brands & Products
A clinical reference — look up a brand’s active ingredient (Chlorsig → chloramphenicol) or the options available in Australia, grouped by type. 154+ named products across therapeutics, myopia control, dry eye and contact lenses.
A clinical reference — not an advertising platform
OptoGuide is not an advertising platform. This is a clinical reference — a brand↔active-ingredient lookup and a list of options available in Australia — sorted alphabetically by type. OptoGuide’s recommendations are based on scientific evidence and clinical appropriateness; they cannot be bought, promoted, or reordered by sponsorship, and inclusion here is not endorsement. Always verify current registration, PBS status and suitability for your patient.
