Paracain Ophthalmic Solution should be used only as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Do not rub or touch the eye while it is numb because you may accidentally injure the eye without feeling pain. Avoid prolonged or repeated use unless specifically advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor about any existing eye problems, eye injury, infection, or known allergy to local anesthetics. Contact lenses should be removed before use if advised by your eye-care professional. Keep the bottle clean and tightly closed, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Some people may experience temporary stinging, burning, irritation, redness, watering of the eyes, or blurred vision after using Paracain Ophthalmic Solution. These effects are generally temporary, but you should contact your doctor if they are severe, persistent, or accompanied by significant eye pain, swelling, or changes in vision. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.

Paracain Ophthalmic Solution should be used exactly as directed by your doctor or eye-care professional. The recommended number of drops should be instilled into the eye as advised, usually before an ophthalmic examination or procedure. Wash your hands before use and avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any other surface. Do not use this medicine repeatedly or for longer than recommended, as prolonged use of topical eye anesthetics can cause eye damage.
