Dropless Cataract Surgery

Innovative dropless cataract surgery has many advantages and a significant cost savings to the patient.

Complying with a post-cataract surgery medication regimen can be challenging. Cataract surgery patients are typically prescribed three separate medications that can be upwards of hundreds of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses for patients. Also, cataract surgery patients are typically of older age and can have dexterity issues that can cause difficulty with proper instillation of the medication. Dropless cataract surgery eliminates these hassles.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is dropless cataract surgery?

Dropless cataract surgery involves a transzonular delivery of a medication called TriMoxi. TriMoxi is compounded, preservative-free triamcinolone acetone and moxifloxacin. It is designed to be delivered to the posterior chamber, directly into the vitreous. After the intraocular lens implant is in place during cataract surgery, and prior to removing viscoelastic, the surgeon will pass a canula through the corneal incision site, over the anterior capsule, underneath the iris, and then penetrate the zonules into the anterior vitreous and inject the medication into the vitreous itself.

What are the advantages of dropless cataract surgery?

Far more often than you may think, patients do not take their medications in the way they are prescribed. Some of this has to do with the fact that patients simply forget to take the drops. Some patients also report that drops will burn, sting, or cause redness, so they end up not using the drops as prescribed to limit these side effects. Dropless cataract surgery essentially eliminates the issue of having to rely on patients to use drops as directed.

Do your surgeons recommend dropless cataract surgery?

Our surgeons recommend dropless cataract surgery because it minimizes post-operative instructions and eliminates confusion associated with the administration of topical eye drops. It also carries a greatly reduced risk for post-operative endophthalmitis, which is one of the most devastating complications following cataract surgery. There is minimal risk with dropless cataract surgery. It is a very safe and effective procedure.
