Introduction
Auromide 1% Eye Drop is for external use only. It is used before eye examinations to help doctors visualize the eye more closely by enlarging the pupil. It is also used to treat uveitis and reduce redness and swelling after cataract surgery. Common side effects include stinging sensation, blurred vision, and dry mouth. These symptoms are usually temporary but consult your doctor if they persist. Avoid driving immediately after using this medicine as it may cause blurred vision.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.
How it works
Auromide 1% Eye Drop dilates or enlarges the pupil of the eye so that the doctor can examine the back of the eyeball. It may also be used to reduce pain in certain eye conditions.
Quick Tips
Auromide 1% Eye Drop enlarges the pupil for eye examination and is commonly used in adults. It also reduces inflammation (redness and swelling) after cataract surgery. Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Stinging sensation may occur for 1-2 mins. Notify your doctor if it persists for longer. Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
