Intavisc Injection

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Intavisc Injection is a water-soluble preparation commonly used in eye surgery. It is injected into the eye during surgical procedures. It helps create and maintain space in the anterior chamber of the eye, ensuring a clear and stable environment for the surgeon to work.

Intavisc Injection also provides a protective barrier, shielding delicate eye tissues, such as the cornea and lens, from potential damage caused by surgical instruments and acts as a lubricant, reducing friction and facilitating smoother movements during the surgery.

Intavisc Injection is well-tolerated and does not usually cause any side effects. However, in some patients, it may cause a transient rise in intraocular pressure after the surgery. Let your doctor know in case you experience any symptoms.

The doctor will carefully monitor intraocular pressure, especially during the immediate postoperative period and treat with the appropriate therapy in case of significant rise. Intavisc Injection is not recommended for us in patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to its ingredients.

Squint problem. What is the cause and suggest remedy
Dr. Richa Jain
Ophthalmology
Consult eye or squint specialist. Surgery or glasses might be5needed
Hello About 6 months ago I passed through brain stem glioma tumor surgery. After surgery my right eye becomes red and dry. Tears are not producing and the eyelid is not closing. I am using artificial tear drops in eye but not gaining good results. My mouth is not opens fully. Due to this I am not able to swallow food and liquid. I am not able to express facial expressions such as smile etc. When I search about all these symptoms on the Internet then I found that these symptoms are similar to Bell's palsy. So I want to ask that have I suffering from Bell's Palsy or not. If yes, then what are the proper treatment and medications for me. When I was searching for Bell's Palsy treatment then I found some drugs like PRESTIDONE and ACYCLOVIR. Should I take these drugs or not? Is these drugs have any side effects? Plz reply me as soon as possible. Thank you.
