Uses of Aurocaine Eye Drops

Used as a topical ocular local anaesthetic to numb the eye before diagnostic or minor surgical procedures (e.g., tonometry, gonioscopy, removal of superficial foreign body).

• •Provides quick eye numbing for procedures
• •Reduces pain during minor ophthalmic interventions
• •Facilitates foreign body removal
• •Enables comfortable diagnostic examinations

How it works

Topical local anaesthetics block sodium channels in nerve endings on the ocular surface. This prevents nerve impulse conduction and temporarily numbs the cornea and conjunctiva.

Directions for use

For ophthalmic use only. Instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye(s) just before the procedure as directed by an ophthalmologist. Do not use regularly or for self-treatment; avoid touching the dropper tip; remove contact lenses unless advised otherwise.
