Enhancing Patient Experience: The Impact of OMIDRIA in Cataract Surgery

Post author: Dr Nikpoor

#OMIDRIA

Dr. Nikpoor highlights how using OMIDRIA simplifies cataract surgery by eliminating the need for additional intraoperative dilation. With OMIDRIA she has confidence that the pupil size will
remain stable, resulting in improved patient outcomes with reduced perioperative and postoperative pain and minimized ocular inflammation.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

OMIDRIA® is added to ophthalmic irrigating solution used during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement and is indicated for maintaining pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis and reducing postoperative ocular pain.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

OMIDRIA must be added to irrigating solution prior to intraocular use.

OMIDRIA is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Systemic exposure to phenylephrine may cause elevations in blood pressure.

Use OMIDRIA with caution in individuals who have previously exhibited sensitivities to acetylsalicylic acid, phenylacetic acid derivatives, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or have a past medical history of asthma.

The most commonly reported adverse reactions at ≥ 2% are eye irritation, posterior capsule opacification, increased intraocular pressure, and anterior chamber inflammation.
