FAQs
What is I-Catrest Eye Drop used for?
I-Catrest Eye Drop is used to slow down the development of cataracts (clouding of the lens in the eye) and to prevent cloudiness after cataract surgery (posterior capsular opacity). It helps maintain the lens’s normal health and clarity.
How does I-Catrest Eye Drop help with cataracts?
I-Catrest Eye Drop helps maintain the balance of electrolytes (minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium) in the eye lens, which supports lens transparency and healthy function. This slows down cataract formation and may help improve vision in early cataract cases.
Can I-Catrest Eye Drop cure cataracts completely?
No. I-Catrest Eye Drop does not cure cataracts, but it may delay or slow their progression, especially when surgery is not immediately possible or advisable due to other health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
When do doctors prescribe I-Catrest Eye Drop?
Doctors often recommend I-Catrest Eye Drop to delay cataract progression in early stages, postpone cataract surgery for patients with other medical issues, and prevent cloudiness after surgery (posterior capsular opacity).
Can I-Catrest Eye Drop cause serious side effects?
Serious side effects of I-Catrest Eye Drop are not commonly reported, but if you notice eye pain, severe irritation, or sudden vision changes, stop using I-Catrest Eye Drop and contact your eye specialist right away.
What should I do if I experience irritation after using I-Catrest Eye Drop?
Mild irritation may occur rarely after using I-Catrest Eye Drop. If burning, redness, or itching persists or worsens, stop using the medicine and consult your eye doctor immediately.
When should I contact my doctor while using I-Catrest Eye Drop?
