How Does Acular Work?
Acular’s non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents block the production of prostaglandin, a type of chemical in your body that causes inflammation, pain, and swelling. Acular helps to:
- Relieve post-surgery eye discomfort
- Reduce swelling and redness
- Help control the itching and watery eyes caused due to allergies
Though it’s not an antihistamine, it can effectively relieve the symptoms caused by allergic reactions.
Dosage & Instructions
- Wash your hands properly before use.
- Incline your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid
- Put one drop into the affected eye, use it as prescribed, typically 4 times a day
- Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to your eye or any surface
- If you are also taking some other eye dropper, use it after 5 minutes of taking this drop
The duration of the treatment depends on the reason for use. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Side Effects
You may find some mild effects like:
- Eye burning or stinging (temporary)
- Burry vision after use
- Redness or dryness of the eye
- Light sensitivity
These side effects are temporary and go away once the effects of the medicine wear off.
Precautions
These are the precautions to take care of before using the Acular eye drops:
- Make sure to use appropriate Acular drops, always check for the expiry date before use
- If you use contact lenses, insert them after some time of using the drops
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have bleeding disorders, it can affect the blood clotting

- The medicine should be stored at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight. Discard the drops four weeks after opening.
Q. Can I use expired Acular?
No, using anything that’s expired is not good, especially medications. If the bottle of eye drops at your home has expired, throw it away; it is less effective and can cause irritation or other side effects.
Q. Is Acular an antihistamine?
No, it is an NSAID. However, it reduces the allergy-related eye symptoms like itching and redness by calming the inflammation.
Q. Do Acular or Ocuflox drops cause blurry vision?
It can temporarily blur your vision after applying the drop and but it typically goes away within minutes. You should avoid driving or using any machine right after the application.
Q. What does an "eye ball shot" of Acular mean?
This most likely relates to the direct administration of medication during surgery, but Acular is typically administered as drops rather than injections. Always follow the doctor's orders for safety.
Q. How long should I use Acular after surgery?
Discuss this with your healthcare provider, they can usually suggest up to 1 or 2 weeks, depending on your recovery progress.
Q. Can I use Acular long-term?
Acular eye drops are typically used for short-term use and only under medical supervision due to the risks, like delayed healing or corneal issues.
Q. How soon does Acular start working?
You will feel it soon after 30-60 minutes of administration, especially if you have allergy-related symptoms.
