Macular edema, including cystoid macular edema, reported; caution in patients with aphakia pseudophakia with a torn posterior lens capsule, or with known risk factors for macular edema
Bacterial keratitis associated with the use of multiple-dose containers of topical ophthalmic products has been reported; containers may be inadvertently contaminated by patients who typically had a concurrent corneal disease or an ocular epithelial surface disruption
Remove contact lenses before administration because product contains benzalkonium chloride; lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes after administration
