Patients with signs of corneal damage should discontinue the use of the preparation immediately and have their corneal condition checked. Patients with surgical ophthalmological intervention complications, corneal denervation, corneal epithelial defects, diabetes mellitus, superficial eye diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, or repeated surgical interventions within a short period of time may have an increased risk of developing side reactions from the cornea, which may be a threat to vision loss. During surgical operations on the eyes with the use of topical NSAIDs, intensive bleeding in the eye tissues may develop. Use the preparation with caution
