Prolensa contains the active ingredient bromfenac. It is a prescription eye drop used to reduce pain and inflammation after cataract surgery.
Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replaces it with an artificial lens. After surgery, the eye may become temporarily inflamed as part of the healing process.
This inflammation can cause symptoms such as:
Prolensa helps control this inflammation and may make the recovery period more comfortable.
Surgery can trigger the release of substances in the eye that promote inflammation. One of the main groups involved is called prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins can contribute to:
Reducing prostaglandin production can help calm the inflammatory response after surgery.
Prolensa belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Bromfenac works by blocking enzymes called cyclooxygenase enzymes, which are involved in producing prostaglandins.
By reducing prostaglandin production, Prolensa can help:
Pain after cataract surgery is usually mild, but some patients may experience soreness, irritation, or sensitivity.
Prolensa helps reduce these symptoms by controlling the inflammatory process that contributes to discomfort.
It is not a numbing medication. Instead, it works by reducing the substances that cause inflammation and pain.
Prolensa is usually used for a short period around the time of cataract surgery.
Your healthcare provider may prescribe it before or after surgery depending on your treatment plan. It is important to use the drops for the full recommended period, even if your eye starts to feel better sooner.
After cataract surgery, your healthcare provider may prescribe more than one type of eye drop.
These may include:
Prolensa does not replace these medications. If you use more than one type of eye drop, your healthcare provider may recommend waiting several minutes between each medication.
Prolensa is mainly intended to control postoperative pain and inflammation.
It does not:
Even when recovery is going well, follow-up visits are important after cataract surgery.
Your healthcare provider may check:
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop worsening pain, sudden vision changes, severe redness, swelling, or other symptoms that seem unusual during recovery.
Prolensa is an ophthalmic solution, which means it is used as an eye drop. It contains bromfenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.
Prolensa is usually prescribed once daily around the time of surgery.
A common dosing schedule is:
Follow the exact schedule provided by your healthcare provider. Do not use more drops or continue treatment longer than recommended.
Use Prolensa carefully so the medication reaches the eye without contaminating the bottle.
Follow these steps:
Pressing gently on the inner corner of the eye may help reduce the amount of medication that drains through the tear duct.
Keep the dropper tip clean at all times.
Do not allow it to touch:
Touching the dropper tip can introduce bacteria into the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.
Do not rinse or wipe the dropper tip unless the product instructions specifically tell you to do so.
You may be prescribed several eye medications after cataract surgery.
If you use more than one type of eye drop, your healthcare provider may recommend waiting at least several minutes between medications. This helps prevent one drop from washing another medication out of the eye.
Use each medication in the order and at the times recommended by your healthcare provider.
Follow your eye surgeon’s instructions about wearing contact lenses after cataract surgery.
Do not place contact lenses in the treated eye unless your healthcare provider has told you it is safe to do so.
Use only 1 drop at a time unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.
Using extra drops does not make Prolensa work faster or better. Excessive or prolonged use of ophthalmic NSAIDs may increase the risk of complications involving the surface of the eye and may interfere with healing.
Continue treatment for the full prescribed period unless your healthcare provider tells you to stop.
If you miss a dose of Prolensa, apply it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.
If your next dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not:
If you are unsure what to do after missing a dose, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for advice.
Store Prolensa at room temperature according to the instructions provided with the medication.
To protect the eye drops:
Do not freeze Prolensa unless the product instructions specifically allow it.
Check the bottle before each use. Do not use Prolensa if the container is damaged, leaking, or appears contaminated.
If the solution looks different from usual, contains visible particles, or you believe the dropper tip has become contaminated, contact your pharmacist before using it again.
Do not transfer Prolensa into another container.
Prolensa should only be used by the person for whom it was prescribed.
Do not share the bottle with another person, even if they have similar eye symptoms. Sharing eye drops can spread bacteria or other microorganisms between people.
Follow all postoperative instructions provided by your eye surgeon. Prolensa is only one part of your recovery plan.
Your healthcare provider may also recommend:
Follow your surgeon’s instructions even if your eye feels better.
Contact your healthcare provider if you experience:
These symptoms may indicate that your eye needs to be examined.
Seek prompt medical attention if you develop severe eye pain, sudden vision loss, a major change in vision, severe swelling, or signs of a serious allergic reaction.
Do not wait for your next routine appointment if your symptoms suddenly become severe after cataract surgery.
Prolensa (Bromfenac) is available in the following forms and strength:
Use Prolensa with caution if you have a bleeding disorder or take medications that can increase the risk of bleeding.
Eye surgery can already increase the chance of bleeding, and NSAID eye drops such as Prolensa may add to this risk in some people.
Tell your healthcare provider if you take blood thinners, aspirin, or other medications that affect blood clotting.
Prolensa may slow or delay healing after eye surgery.
Your healthcare provider may monitor your eye closely if healing is taking longer than expected. Do not continue using Prolensa longer than prescribed.
Prolensa may cause temporary:
These effects are often mild, but contact your healthcare provider if they are severe, persistent, or getting worse.
Prolensa may temporarily cause blurred vision after the drops are applied.
Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require clear vision until your eyesight has returned to normal.
Use Prolensa with extra caution if you have had complicated eye surgery or have conditions that may affect healing of the cornea.
This may include:
Your healthcare provider may recommend closer monitoring during treatment.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before using Prolensa.
Because bromfenac is an NSAID, its use during pregnancy may not be appropriate at certain stages, especially later in pregnancy. Your healthcare provider can determine whether the benefits of treatment outweigh the potential risks.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have:
People with these conditions may have a higher risk of developing an allergic reaction to Prolensa.
Stop using Prolensa and seek medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as:
Tell your healthcare provider about all medications and products you use, including:
Prolensa may interact with other medications or increase the risk of certain side effects.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are already using another NSAID, including oral, topical, or ophthalmic NSAIDs.
Using several NSAID products together may increase the risk of side effects. Do not combine them unless your healthcare provider specifically recommends it.
Follow your eye surgeon’s instructions about contact lens use after cataract surgery.
If your healthcare provider allows contact lenses, remove them before applying Prolensa and wait the recommended amount of time before putting them back in.
Prolensa is usually used once daily.
Do not use additional drops or apply the medication more often than prescribed. Using more medication will not improve its effect and may increase the risk of eye complications.
Prolensa is generally used for a limited period around cataract surgery.
A common treatment schedule begins 1 day before surgery, continues on the day of surgery, and lasts for 14 days after surgery.
Do not continue treatment longer than prescribed unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of liver or kidney disease before using Prolensa.
Although Prolensa is applied directly to the eye and only a small amount is typically absorbed into the bloodstream, your healthcare provider should still know about these conditions when reviewing your treatment.
Store Prolensa at room temperature and keep the bottle tightly closed when it is not being used. Protect it from excessive heat, direct light, and moisture. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the eye drops if the bottle is damaged or the solution appears contaminated.
If you miss a dose of Prolensa, apply 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 or apply two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. If you are unsure what to do, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for advice.
Prolensa is specifically approved to reduce eye pain and inflammation after cataract surgery. Do not use Prolensa for another eye condition unless your healthcare provider has specifically prescribed it for that purpose. Other eye problems may require different medications or treatment.
Prolensa begins reducing the inflammatory process after it is applied, but the time it takes to notice symptom relief can vary from person to person. Some patients may notice less pain, redness, or irritation within the first few days of treatment. Continue using Prolensa exactly as prescribed, even if your symptoms do not improve immediately. Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms become worse or do not improve as expected.
