Aurocaine Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml

Doctors use Aurocaine Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml to temporarily numb the surface of the eye before certain eye examinations and minor ophthalmic procedures. The main uses include:

• Eye pressure testing: Numbs the surface of your eye so the doctor can safely measure internal eye pressure (tonometry) without discomfort.
• Foreign object removal: Temporarily stops pain so a specialist can safely extract dirt, dust, or other small particles from your eye.
• Suture removal: Keeps the eye completely still and comfortable while stitches are removed after an ophthalmic procedure.
• Pre-operative preparation: Provides localized numbness before minor eye surgeries or diagnostic examinations of the cornea and conjunctiva.

Aurocaine Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml provides fast, localized anesthesia to the surface of the eye, making eye examinations and minor ophthalmic procedures more comfortable and easier to perform. Key benefits of this medicine include:

• Rapid pain relief: It starts working within seconds of application, ensuring that diagnostic tests or medical procedures can begin almost immediately without delay.
• Enhanced clinical safety: By temporarily dulling the blink reflex and physical sensation, it allows your eye care professional to work with high precision, lowering the risk of accidental injury during delicate procedures.
• Local action with minimal body-wide absorption: The medication acts directly on the surface of the eye, meaning very little of the active drug enters your bloodstream, reducing the risk of general side effects.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Aurocaine Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml will be given by a healthcare professional when undergoing surgical procedures or tests.
• Do not self-administer.

• Do not rub or touch your eye: For at least 30 minutes after receiving the drops, as the lack of feeling means you could scratch your cornea without realizing it.
• Wear dark sunglasses: When going outdoors immediately after your appointment, as your eyes may be temporarily sensitive to light.
• Avoid wearing contact lenses: Until the numbness has completely worn off and your eye doctor confirms it is safe to reinsert them.
• Rest your eyes: By limiting screen time, reading, and other close-up activities for a few hours after your procedure to help prevent eye strain while your eyes recover.

• Inspect before use: Always inspect the liquid vial before use. The solution should be completely clear and colourless.
• Avoid driving or operating machinery: Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform hazardous tasks until you know how this medicine affects your vision and alertness, as it may cause blurred vision and drowsiness.
• Do not rub your eye: Your eye will be numb for a short time after the drops are applied. Avoid rubbing or touching it to prevent accidental injury.
• Do not self-use at home: These eye drops are intended for use by a healthcare professional and should not be used for self-treatment of eye pain.
• Protect your eye until feeling returns: Avoid contact lenses and activities that could injure your eye until the numbness has completely worn off.
• Tell your doctor about eye problems: Inform your doctor if you have an eye infection, severe dry eyes, or any previous allergy to local anaesthetics before receiving these drops.
