Hello
Besivance is antibiotic eye drops, Prolensa is antiinflammatory eye drop and Durezol is steroid eye drop.
Besivance and Prolensa are need to be taken from 1-3 days prior to surgery as a prophylaxis to prevent postoperative infection and inflammation respectively.
These eye drops can be administered after at least a gap of 5 minutes. They are needed to be administered at least 4 times per day.
Durezol is required in the postoperative period.
Thank you
