I've been prescribed Correctol drops by my opthamologist but on the box
it says that vision training should be carried out at same time,
however I was not advised to go for vision training. Does anyone know
how effective these drops are? I have a lazy eye, it's only noticeable
however when I'm not wearing glasses or am tired. Perhaps vision
training would be a good idea?

Never heard of Correctol drops.  A google search says it's a laxative.
Is this supposed to be a joke?  Lazy eye is not noticeable to anyone
except the patient, and then only and always when they close the other eye.

No, it's not a joke. Correctol drops do exist. They are produced by
Alcon, in Barcelona. They contain 0.1% collyre. technical name on bow
is "inosine monophosphate".

I think that is a nucleoside.  What it is doing in an eyedrop I have no
clue.

Ionine seems to be a health food/alternative medicine type supplement
claimed to enhance muscle function, and an flavour enhancing additive to
foods.  I searched PubMed and found no clinical trials and no research
related to eyes and its use, actually, there was very little in PubMed about
it at all.   the Health Canada and FDA sites had no information about it
either.

Those of us in North America have not heard of and have no experience with
these drops,  any professionals in Europe want to comment?

By "lazy eye" do you mean an eye that turns in or out or an eye that does
not see well?  You may well need vision training if the eye does not see
well or if you are seeing double.  If your eye turns in, but only with
glasses off, then you simply need to wear your glasses.

Nicoleh, I think you should call your eye doctor and ask your questions.

My "lazy eye" turns out. as for the drops, they don't seem to be
helping much, as I still squint without my glasses.

Has anyone used Correctol eye drops?
