Phenocaine Plus Injection 1 ml

Your doctor may use Phenocaine Plus Injection 1 ml during the following ophthalmic procedures:

• Cataract surgery: Phenocaine Plus Injection 1 ml helps by widening the pupil and numbing the eye, allowing the surgeon to safely remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial one.
• Pupil dilation (mydriasis) during surgery: It ensures the pupil remains consistently open and stable under the bright lights of the operating room.
• Local anesthesia: It prevents pain signals in the eye, keeping you comfortable throughout the surgical procedure.

Using Phenocaine Plus Injection 1 ml during eye surgery helps provide effective pain control and optimal surgical conditions. Here are the key benefits you can expect:

• Provides comfort during surgery: Phenocaine Plus Injection 1 ml combines local anaesthesia with pupil-dilating agents, helping keep the eye numb and reducing discomfort throughout the procedure.
• Maintains a stable, dilated pupil: By keeping the pupil widely dilated during surgery, Phenocaine Plus Injection 1 ml improves the surgeon's view and helps facilitate a safer and more efficient procedure.
• Supports a smoother surgical experience: The combination of anaesthetic and dilating effects reduces the need for multiple preoperative eye drops, helping simplify the surgical process and supporting a smoother recovery after the operation.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Phenocaine Plus Injection 1 ml should be administered by a nurse or doctor to ensure proper dosage, technique, and monitoring for any potential side effects or complications.
• Do not self-administer.

• Protect your eyes from bright light: Wear dark sunglasses outdoors after surgery, as your pupils may remain dilated and become more sensitive to light.
• Avoid rubbing your eye: Do not rub, touch, or apply pressure to the treated eye to reduce the risk of injury or infection.
• Limit strenuous activities: Avoid heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, and bending over for the period recommended by your surgeon, as these activities can increase pressure inside the eye.
• Keep the eye clean and dry: Take care to prevent water, soap, or shampoo from entering the treated eye while bathing, and follow your doctor's instructions for eye hygiene.

• Avoid driving or operating machinery: Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform tasks requiring clear vision until your eyesight has fully returned to normal after the procedure.
• Inform your doctor about your medical history: Tell your surgeon if you have a history of asthma, thyroid disorders, or heart disease before receiving Phenocaine Plus Injection 1 ml.
• Inspect before use: The healthcare professional will check the solution before administration. It should be clear, colourless, and free of visible particles.
• Attend follow-up appointments: Keep all scheduled post-operative visits so your doctor can monitor your healing and detect any complications early.
