WARNINGS

Manufactured with CFC-12, a substance which harms public health and environment by destroying ozone in the upper atmosphere.

Precautions are limited to those normally associated with the ophthalmic surgical procedure being performed.

There may be transient increased intraocular pressure following surgery because of pre-existing glaucoma or due to the surgery itself. For these reasons, the following precautions should be considered:

• OCUCOAT should be removed from the anterior chamber at the end of surgery.
• If the postoperative intraocular pressure increases above expected values, appropriate therapy should be administered.
