Catacure is a therapeutic ophthalmic solution formulated with a blend of essential biochemical agents, typically including Potassium Iodide, Sodium Iodide, and Calcium Chloride. It works by supporting the metabolic processes within the crystalline lens of the eye. These minerals help maintain the osmotic balance and antioxidant environment of the lens, which is crucial for preventing the denaturation of lens proteins (crystallins). By providing these micronutrients directly to the ocular tissues, Catacure aims to slow the progression of lens opacification and maintain visual transparency.
In Nigeria, Catacure is a trusted clinical choice for the conservative management of early-stage cataracts. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure customers receive authentic, sterile bottles manufactured under strict ophthalmic standards and stored in cool, dark environments to protect the light-sensitive mineral compounds.
Important: This is a supportive ocular treatment. The "Patience" Rule: This drop is designed for long-term maintenance; it will not clear a mature cataract overnight and is most effective in the early "incipient" stages. The "Contamination" Warning: To prevent eye infections, never touch the dropper tip to your eye, eyelashes, or any other surface. Do not use if you have a known sensitivity to iodine or if you are currently being treated for a thyroid disorder without consulting your physician.
Catacure Eye Drops are primarily used to:
Slow the progression of Incipient Cataracts (early-stage clouding of the lens)
Support the metabolic health of the crystalline lens in aging patients
Provide essential minerals that help prevent protein "clumping" in the eye
Maintain visual clarity and reduce the "glare" associated with early lens changes
Act as a non-surgical supportive therapy for patients not yet ready for cataract surgery
Improve the nutritional environment of the aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye)
This product is suitable for:
Elderly patients diagnosed with early-stage senile cataracts
Individuals with a family history of cataracts looking for proactive lens support
Patients experiencing mild "haziness" in their vision due to age-related lens changes
Not recommended for: Treating "Mature" or "Hypermature" cataracts (where surgery is usually the only effective option). It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with a severe allergy to Iodine. Use with caution if you have a history of fungal eye infections or severe "Dry Eye" syndrome. Consult our pharmacist if you are using other medicated eye drops, such as those for Glaucoma, to ensure proper spacing between applications. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting any long-term mineral eye drops.
Wash your hands thoroughly before use
Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket
Standard Dose: Instill one (1) to two (2) drops into the affected eye(s)
Frequency: Typically used three (3) times daily, or as directed by your Optometrist or Ophthalmologist
The "Wait" Rule: If you use other eye drops, wait at least 10 to 15 minutes between products to ensure each is absorbed correctly
The "Contact Lens" Tip: Remove contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them
Keep the bottle tightly closed and store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight
Catacure is generally very gentle, but some individuals may experience:
Temporary stinging or burning immediately after instillation
Mild eye redness or irritation
Increased watering of the eyes (lacrimation)
A temporary "metallic" taste in the mouth (common with iodide-based drops)
Rare: Allergic reaction (swelling or intense itching)
Rare: Blurred vision immediately after application (usually clears in minutes)
Seek medical advice if you experience sudden eye pain, a significant decrease in vision, or if your eyes become persistently red and painful.

Will these drops cure my cataract completely?
Currently, there is no medical drop that can completely "dissolve" a cataract once it has fully formed. Catacure is designed to provide the nutrients needed to slow down the clouding process and delay the need for surgery.
Can I use this for my red, itchy eyes?
No. Catacure is not an anti-allergy or antibiotic drop. If your eyes are red and itchy, you should consult our pharmacist for a proper diagnosis and the correct treatment.
How long should I use this for?
Cataract management is a long-term process. Most doctors recommend using these drops consistently for several months to a year to assess their effectiveness in stabilizing your vision.
Where can I purchase Catacure Eye Drops in Nigeria?
