The concept of eye drops dates back thousands of years, with ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks using herbal extracts and natural remedies to treat eye conditions. However, the modern eye drop as we know it was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One of the earliest pharmaceutical eye drops was atropine, isolated and formulated for eye use by scientists working in ophthalmology and pharmacology. Over time, with advancements in sterile manufacturing and drug formulation, various eye drops for allergies, infections, and dry eye were developed by pharmaceutical pioneers. Today, eye drops are an essential part of ophthalmic care, and their evolution continues with innovations in preservatives, delivery mechanisms, and targeted therapies.
