Nevanac Eye Drops 1mg/ml for Post-Cataract Surgery Recovery

Nevanac Eye Drops 1mg/ml are a highly effective ophthalmic suspension specifically formulated to alleviate pain and inflammation following cataract surgery. Developed by Alcon, a leader in eye care, Nevanac contains the active ingredient Nepafenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

This medication works by blocking certain natural substances in your body that cause inflammation, swelling, and pain. It is a crucial component of post-operative care, helping patients experience a more comfortable and rapid recovery.

Benefits of Nevanac Eye Drops

• Effectively reduces post-operative eye pain.
• Significantly decreases inflammation and swelling in the eye.
• Supports a smoother and faster recovery process after cataract surgery.
• Convenient dropper bottle for easy and precise administration.

How to Use

Always use Nevanac Eye Drops exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Read the patient leaflet carefully before use.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the eye drops.
2. Shake the bottle well before each use.
3. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
4. Hold the dropper above the eye with the tip down. Look up and away from the tip.
5. Gently squeeze the bottle to release one drop into the pocket.
6. Close your eyes for a few moments and gently press your finger to the inner corner of your eye (near the nose) for 1-2 minutes. This helps prevent the medication from draining out and being absorbed into the rest of your body.
7. Wipe away any excess liquid from your face.
8. Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination.
9. Replace the cap tightly after each use.
10. The typical dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) three times daily, starting 1 day prior to cataract surgery and continuing for up to 2 weeks post-operatively, or as directed by your ophthalmologist.
