What Experts Say

Ophthalmologists in Pakistan routinely prescribe nepafenac drops after cataract and refractive surgery, since they control post operative inflammation without the eye pressure risks associated with long term steroid drop use.

Nepafenac is formulated as a prodrug that converts to its active form once inside the eye tissue, which allows better penetration and a more targeted anti inflammatory effect compared to older NSAID eye drop formulations.

Cataract surgery volumes are rising sharply across Pakistan as the population ages, so consistent use of prescribed anti inflammatory drops in the recommended course is emphasized to reduce complications and support clear vision recovery. Missing doses in the early post operative days is one of the more common reasons patients experience more discomfort or slower healing than expected, so a clear dosing schedule written down at discharge is considered good practice.

How to use Nefhgen Drops 0.10%?

• The bottle should be shaken well before each use.
• One drop in the affected eye, usually three times a day, is the typical dose as directed by an eye doctor.
• Clean hands before and after applying the drops help prevent contamination.
• The dropper tip should not touch the eye or any surface.
• A gap of at least five minutes between this and any other eye drop is recommended.

Drug Interactions

• Other eye drops: Multiple eye drops used too close together can dilute each other's effect.
• Systemic NSAIDs: Concurrent use with oral NSAIDs may add to the anti inflammatory and bleeding risk.
• Corticosteroid eye drops: A combination may be recommended by the doctor, but self initiation is not advised because of additive effects on healing.

Risks and warnings

• Delayed healing: NSAID eye drops can slow corneal healing, so use is limited to the duration prescribed after surgery.
• Corneal problems: Rare cases of corneal thinning or perforation have been reported with prolonged use.
• Contact lenses: Removal of contact lenses before application and a waiting period before reinsertion is recommended.
• Bleeding tendency: Caution is needed in patients with bleeding disorders or those on blood thinners.
• Eye infections: Any active eye infection should be reported to the doctor, since NSAID drops can mask signs of worsening infection.
