Catalin Eye Drops by Helix Pharma contain Pirenoxine, which helps slow down cataracts in older adults. These eye drops won’t cure cataracts, but they can help keep your vision from getting worse too quickly and make it easier to see clearly.
Why doctors prescribe it Your eye doctor might give you Catalin drops if you have cataracts that are making your vision cloudy or blurry. The drops help slow down the process so your eyesight doesn’t deteriorate as fast.
What’s inside Each drop contains Pirenoxine – this is what does the work of fighting cataract progression.
Using the drops properly Your doctor will show you the right way to put drops in your eyes. Most people use 1-2 drops in each affected eye a few times daily. Clean your hands first, and be careful not to touch the dropper to your eye or anything else – you don’t want bacteria getting into the bottle.
Things you should know Use these drops only if an eye specialist has prescribed them for you. If the liquid looks different than usual – maybe it’s changed color or gotten cloudy – don’t use it. Your eyes might sting a bit right after using the drops, which is totally normal.
If you wear contacts, take them out before using the drops and give it 15 minutes before putting them back in. Store the bottle somewhere cool and dry, not in direct sunlight.
Doctor’s perspective
Dr. Imran Siddiqui, who specializes in eye care, says pirenoxine works well for slowing cataracts down. He points out that while it won’t reverse cataracts that have already formed, it can help maintain your current vision and might delay needing surgery.
Bottom line
These drops are meant to slow down cataracts, not eliminate them. If your cataracts get bad enough, you’ll still need surgery eventually. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for the best results.
