For years, Rohto eye drops were a coveted item on our to-buy list whenever we visit Japan or when we have a friend offering “pasabuys” from the Land of the Rising Sun. Known for their innovative products and signature cooling sensation, Rohto has been a trusted brand for eye care worldwide so it’s no surprise that people are willing to have it shipped despite the distance. Starting this year, however, no need to travel far because Rohto eye drops are now readily available in the Philippines!

Unlike the usual square-like packaging, the eye drops that we found in local shelves are in a semi-circle like shape, perhaps to make it easier to keep and organize. Despite the difference in look, it still offers the same quality that we loved from Japan, in two variants: Rohto Cool Eye Drops in blue and Rohto Aqua Eye Drops in white.

WHAT IT’S FOR

For those who are not yet familiar with the product, Rohto Cool Eye Drops offer instant and effective relief from dry, irritated, or itchy eyes. These eye drops come with Cooling Level 5, offering a refreshing and invigorating sensation that rejuvenates your eyes with each drop. Even though it offers a cooling feel, the brand claims that it’s safe to be used with or without contact lenses. A must-have for people like me who have dry eyes, too!

Rohto Cool Eye Drops can be a go-to solution whenever you experience eye strain, especially after prolonged exposure to digital screens (that includes your smartphones and laptops). They are also handy when you face irritants like smog, dust, wind, sun glare, or chlorinated water. Commuters like me know the pain of constantly having pollutants enter their eyes! To avoid irritation, just keep these drops nearby during long drives or whenever you’re in air-conditioned environments like your office.

If you prefer a gentler, moisturizing formula, consider Rohto Aqua Eye Drops. These eye drops provide instant and effective relief from the same minor eye discomforts. Both Rohto variants excel in retaining natural tears and moisture in your eyes. They help prevent eye surface dryness, deliver essential oxygen and nutrients to the cornea, wash away dust and debris, and create a protective barrier against bacteria and germs. What’s more, you can use them even if you wear contact lenses, and they make lens removal easier after a long day.

It’s recommended to use Rohto Cool and Aqua Eye Drops five to six times per day, applying 1 to 2 drops per eye each time. This routine ensures you get instant and effective relief while keeping your eyes comfortable throughout the day.

PRICE AND WHERE TO BUY

You can experience the cool difference of Rohto eye drops by visiting Watsons Online Shop or a Watsons store near you. These eye drops are priced at Php175 each, making them an affordable and accessible solution for your eye care needs.
