Intavisc 2 % Injection 3 Ml contains hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) (2% w/v). Here is how it works:

• Space Creation: The injection creates and maintains space in the anterior chamber and capsular bag of the eye during surgery.

• Tissue Protection: It protects the corneal endothelium and other delicate intraocular tissues from mechanical trauma.

• Facilitation of Surgical Procedures: HPMC facilitates the manipulation of tissues and instruments during surgery which aids in performing complex operations.

• Lubrication: By acting as a lubricant, it reduces friction between instruments and tissues, allowing smoother operation procedures.

• Store Intavisc 2 % Injection 3 Ml in a cool, dry place at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep Intavisc 2 % Injection 3 Ml out of direct sunlight and away from freezing conditions.

• Ensure that Intavisc 2 % Injection 3 Ml is kept out of reach of children at all times.

• If you're undergoing cataract surgery or other eye procedures involving Intavisc 2 % Injection 3 Ml, maintain a diet rich in Vitamin A to support your eye health. Foods like carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach are excellent sources.

• Regular eye exercises can help improve your eye health. Simple exercises such as blinking, zooming focus, and figure-eight eye movements may be beneficial. As always, consult your doctor for personalised advice.
