WHAT OMIDRIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Omidria is a medicine used during surgery on the eye. It contains the
active substances phenylephrine
and ketorolac. Phenylephrine acts to keep the pupil dilated (widened).
Ketorolac is a painkiller that
belongs to the group called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDS); it also helps stop the
pupil from contracting (getting smaller).
Omidria is used in adults to rinse the eye during surgery to implant a
new lens (part of the eye that
focuses light passing through the pupil to allow you to see clearly).
This is known as intraocular lens
replacement. The medicine is used to keep the pupil dilated (widened)
during surgery and to reduce
eye pain after the procedure.
