Indication: Ophthalmic surgical aid in anterior segment surgical procedures, including, cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. Adult Dose: Cataract surgery-IOL implantation: For cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose gel should be carefully injected into the anterior chamber prior to capsulotomy using standard aseptic techniques and only the cannula provided with the product. Gel may be injected into the chamber prior to or following removal of the crystalline lens. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose gel may also be used to coat an intraocular lens prior to implantation as well as the tips of surgical instruments. Additional gel may be injected during anterior segment surgery to fully maintain the chamber or replace any volume lost during the surgical procedure. Contraindication: Patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the drug Mode of Action: Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose gel maintains a deep anterior chamber during anterior segment surgery and protects the corneal endothelium and other ocular tissues. Ocugel helps to push back the vitreous face, thus preventing formation of a flat chamber during surgery. Precaution: There may be transient increased intraocular pressure following surgery because of pre-existing glaucoma or due to the surgery itself. For these reasons, the following precautions should be considered: •Gel should be removed from the anterior chamber at the end of surgery. •If the postoperative intraocular pressure increases above expected values, appropriate therapy should be provided. Side Effect: Occasionally a transient rise in intra-ocular pressure postoperatively has been reported in some cases. Rarely postoperative inflammatory reactions (iritis, hypopyon) as well as incidence of corneal edema and corneal decompensation may occur.
