About Caracsol Eye Drops

Caracsol Eye Drops is used to prevent cataract-related complications and improves comfort by removing the sensation of a surface scratch and flushing out any remaining contaminating or harmful particles. It is particularly indicated when cataract surgery needs to be delayed in patients with diabetes (high blood sugar), uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure), severe respiratory problems, or severe bleeding disorders. A cataract occurs when the clear lens in the eye becomes cloudy, often due to aging or injury that alters the tissue structure of the lens, leading to blurred vision. Lenticular opacity refers to the clouding of the lens in the eyes, while PCO refers to the clouding of the back part of the artificial lens implanted in the eye during cataract surgery.
