Pirenoxine (abbreviated PRX, trade name Catalin) is a medication used in the possible treatment and prevention of cataracts.. A report in the Inorganic Chemistry journal showed that in liquid solutions, pirenoxine could cause decreased cloudiness of a crystallin solution produced to mimic the environment of the eye.
Nepafenac, sold under the brand name Nevanac among others, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), usually sold as a prescription eye drop 0.1% solution (Nevanac) or 0.3% solution (Ilevro). It is used to treat pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery. [3] Nepafenac is a prodrug of amfenac, an inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2 ...
A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye that leads to a decrease in vision of the eye. [ 1 ] [ 7 ] Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. [ 1 ] Symptoms may include faded colours, blurry or double vision , halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and difficulty seeing at night . [ 1 ]
Bromfenac eye drops are generally well tolerated. Comparatively common side effects in clinical studies included abnormal sensations in eye (0.5% of people treated with bromfenac), mild to moderate erosion of the cornea (0.4%), eye pruritus (0.4%), eye pain (0.3%) and redness (0.3%).
Researchers have recently developed a new drug that will ultimately shrink down and dissolve cataracts -- the leading cause of human blindness that affects tens of millions of people worldwide. ...
Lanosterol is under research for its potential as a therapeutic additive in eye drops to inhibit the aggregation of crystallin proteins and dissolve cataracts. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] However, supplemental lanosterol in eye drops appears to have limited solubility and poor bioavailability in the eye, and has not proved effective for inhibiting cataracts ...
Similarly to other corticosteroid eye drops, side effects include hypersensitivity and, especially after long-term use, secondary eye infections, cataract (clouding of the eye lens) and increased intraocular pressure, leading to glaucoma. Consequently, the drug should not be applied longer than 24 days [5] [6] [7] without further medical ...
Eye drops or eyedrops are liquid drops applied directly to the surface of the eye usually in small amounts such as a single drop or a few drops. Eye drops usually contain saline to match the salinity of the eye. Drops containing only saline and sometimes a lubricant are often used as artificial tears to treat dry eyes or simple eye irritation ...
