Acular LS contains the active ingredient ketorolac tromethamine. It is a prescription eye drop used to reduce pain and inflammation after cataract surgery.

Pain and Inflammation After Cataract Surgery

Acular LS is used after cataract surgery to help reduce symptoms such as:

  • Eye pain
  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Inflammation

It is usually used for a short period during recovery, as directed by your eye-care professional.

How Acular LS Works

Acular LS belongs to a group of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

It works by reducing the production of substances called prostaglandins, which contribute to pain, swelling, and inflammation.

By lowering prostaglandin activity in the eye, Acular LS can help make recovery after cataract surgery more comfortable.

Important Note

Acular LS helps control pain and inflammation, but it does not treat an eye infection.

Use it exactly as prescribed and contact your eye-care professional if your pain, redness, swelling, or vision becomes worse.

Acular LS is an eye drop used after cataract surgery to help reduce pain and inflammation.

Use it exactly as prescribed by your eye-care professional.

The usual dose is 1 drop in the affected eye 4 times daily for the prescribed treatment period.

How to Apply Acular LS Eye Drops

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
  2. Tilt your head back and look upward.
  3. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  4. Hold the bottle above your eye without touching your eye, eyelid, or eyelashes with the dropper tip.
  5. Place 1 drop into the pocket.
  6. Close your eye gently.
  7. Press lightly on the inner corner of your eye, near your nose, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Wash your hands again after using the drops.

Pressing on the inner corner of the eye may help reduce the amount of medication that drains into your nose and throat.

Keep the Dropper Tip Clean

Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or another surface.

This can contaminate the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.

Using Other Eye Medications

If you use other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between each medication.

If you also use an eye ointment, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist which medication should be used first.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose of Acular LS, use it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.

Use Acular LS Exactly as Prescribed

Do not use more drops or use them more often than recommended.

Contact your eye-care professional if your eye pain, redness, swelling, or vision becomes worse, or if your symptoms do not improve as expected after surgery.

Delayed Healing

Acular LS is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Like other topical NSAIDs, it may slow or delay healing after eye surgery.

Your eye-care professional may monitor your recovery while you are using it.

Allergic Reactions

Do not use Acular LS if you are allergic to ketorolac or any ingredient in the eye drops.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have had a serious reaction to aspirin or another NSAID, because cross-sensitivity may occur.

Seek medical attention right away if you develop severe swelling, rash, wheezing, or difficulty breathing.

Increased Bleeding Risk

Ketorolac can affect how platelets work and may increase bleeding time.

Use Acular LS carefully if you have a bleeding disorder or take medications that increase your risk of bleeding.

Your eye-care professional may monitor you more closely after surgery.

Corneal Problems

Topical NSAIDs can sometimes cause serious problems with the cornea, the clear surface at the front of the eye.

Possible complications include:

  • Keratitis
  • Corneal thinning
  • Corneal erosion
  • Ulceration
  • Perforation

Stop using Acular LS and contact your eye-care professional if you develop worsening eye pain, vision changes, severe redness, or other unusual symptoms.

Using Corticosteroid Eye Drops

Using Acular LS together with a topical corticosteroid may increase the risk of delayed healing or corneal problems in some patients.

Use both medications together only as directed by your eye-care professional.

Contact Lenses

Do not wear contact lenses while using Acular LS unless your eye-care professional specifically tells you it is safe.

Your eyes may still be healing after surgery, and contact lenses can increase irritation.

Eye Irritation

Acular LS may cause temporary side effects such as:

  • Eye pain
  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Stinging or burning
  • Headache

Contact your eye-care professional if these effects are severe, persistent, or become worse.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Your healthcare provider will consider the expected benefits and possible risks before recommending Acular LS.

Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.

Your healthcare provider can decide whether Acular LS is appropriate for you based on your treatment needs.

Use in Children

The safety and effectiveness of Acular LS have not been established in children younger than 3 years of age.

Use it in children only as directed by an eye-care professional.

Important Dosing Note

Do not use the dosing schedule for Acular 0.5% interchangeably with Acular LS 0.4%.

For Acular LS, the usual labeled dose is 1 drop in the operated eye 4 times daily as needed for pain and burning or stinging for up to 4 days after corneal refractive surgery.

Is Acular LS habit-forming?

No. Acular LS is not habit-forming and does not cause dependence. It is an NSAID eye drop used for a short period to reduce eye pain and burning or stinging after corneal refractive surgery.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Acular LS?

If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.

Can I use Acular LS during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. There are no adequate studies of Acular LS in pregnant women. Your healthcare provider will consider the expected benefits and possible risks before recommending it. It is also not known whether ketorolac from Acular LS passes into human breast milk, so caution is recommended while breastfeeding.

Can children use Acular LS?

The safety and effectiveness of Acular LS have not been established in children younger than 3 years of age. For children 3 years and older, Acular LS should still be used only when prescribed by an eye-care professional.

How should I store Acular LS?

Store Acular LS at room temperature between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Protect the bottle from light and keep it tightly closed when not in use. Keep the medication out of the reach of children and pets.
