What is PROLENSA®?

If you’re going to undergo cataract surgery, your eye doctor may prescribe PROLENSA® to treat inflammation and reduce pain you may experience after cataract surgery. PROLENSA® is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) taken as an eye drop. Your doctor will have you take PROLENSA® one day before surgery, on the day of your surgery, and once daily through the treatment period.

If you have further questions about PROLENSA®, talk to your eye doctor.

If you’ve made the decision to have cataract surgery, it’s essential to protect your investment by following your eye doctor’s post-surgery treatment plan.

Doctors may prescribe PROLENSA® for several reasons:

  • PROLENSA® treats inflammation and pain after cataract surgery
  • PROLENSA® is designed with comfort in mind
  • PROLENSA® provides consistent dosing with every drop—with no shaking required
  • Bausch + Lomb is a leading global eye health company committed to continuous innovation in developing products that help improve eye health.

Important Safety Information

  • PROLENSA® contains sodium sulfite, a substance that may cause allergic reactions, some severe, in certain people. In addition, tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to any other medications.
  • Slow or delayed healing may occur while using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as PROLENSA®.
