[Clinical Edge] What Is Paradin 0.7 Eye Drop? An Olopatadine Eye Drop for Allergic Conjunctivitis
Many people with itchy, red, or irritated eyes wonder:
Is this caused by allergies? What eye drop should I use? How does Paradin 0.7 work?
Paradin 0.7 is an anti-allergy eye drop used to relieve symptoms caused by allergic conjunctivitis.
It contains olopatadine 0.7%, an antihistamine medication that helps reduce allergy-related eye symptoms such as itching and redness.
Paradin 0.7 is a prescription eye drop used in South Korea. Availability and brand names for olopatadine eye drops vary depending on the country.
What Symptoms Does Paradin 0.7 Treat?
Paradin 0.7 is commonly used for symptoms related to allergic eye disease, including:
- Itchy eyes
- Eye redness
- Eye discomfort caused by pollen or dust mites
- Frequent eye rubbing due to allergic conjunctivitis
However, Paradin 0.7 is not an antibiotic eye drop.
It does not treat:
- Bacterial conjunctivitis
- Viral conjunctivitis
If eye irritation is caused by another condition rather than allergy, the benefit may be limited.
How Often Should You Use Paradin 0.7?
Paradin 0.7 is generally prescribed as:
One drop once daily
Using more drops than prescribed does not necessarily provide better allergy control.
If symptoms remain bothersome, it is better to consult your eye doctor rather than increasing the frequency on your own.
Your doctor may consider whether another treatment approach is needed.
Can Paradin 0.7 Be Used With Other Eye Drops?
Yes, Paradin 0.7 can be used together with other eye medications.
However, when using multiple eye drops, it is recommended to leave an interval between different medications.
A common recommendation is:
Wait at least 5 minutes between different eye drops.
This helps prevent one medication from washing out the previous eye drop before it has enough time to work.
Can You Wear Contact Lenses While Using Paradin 0.7?
If allergic conjunctivitis symptoms are active, reducing contact lens use is often helpful.
Contact lenses may:
- Increase irritation of the eye surface
- Make allergy symptoms feel worse
- Increase discomfort during allergy flare-ups
Using glasses temporarily until symptoms improve may help protect the eye surface.
When Should You See an Eye Doctor?
Not every itchy or red eye is caused by allergies.
You should seek an eye examination if you experience:
- Eye pain
- Significant decrease in vision
- Severe sensitivity to light
- Persistent symptoms despite allergy treatment
- Thick or unusual discharge
These symptoms may suggest another eye condition that requires different treatment.
Availability of Paradin 0.7
Paradin 0.7 is an olopatadine 0.7% prescription eye drop used in South Korea.
Olopatadine eye drops are available under different brand names worldwide, and availability depends on local approval and prescribing practices.
Patients outside Korea should ask their local eye care professional about equivalent allergy eye drops available in their region.
The Bottom Line

Key points:
- It helps relieve allergy-related itching and redness
