PRECAUTIONS:
This product should be used cautiously and sparingly in patients with known allergies, cardiac disease, or

exceedingly rare with ophthalmic application of local anesthetics, it should be borne in mind that systemic toxicity
manifested by central nervous sytem stimulation followed by depression may occur. Protection of the eye from
irritation, chemicals, foreign bodies and rubbing during the period of anesthesia is very important. Tonometers soaked
in sterilizing or detergent solutions should be thoroughly rinsed with sterile distilled water prior to use. Patients should
be advised to avoid touching the eye until the anesthsia has worn off. -
