Catalin is a non-prescription anti-cataract ophthalmic solution. It contains Pirenoxine (0.75mg per tablet or solution equivalent) as its active ingredient.
Applied directly to the eyes, it is used by adults under clinical guidance to prevent, slow down, and manage early-stage senile cataracts (clouding of the eye lens that occurs with age).
As the eye ages, proteins inside the lens can oxidize and clump together due to specific chemicals in the body, causing the lens to turn cloudy and blur your vision. Catalin works at a cellular level to protect your sight:
Blocks Clouding Proteins: Pirenoxine acts as a powerful competitive inhibitor. It steps in and blocks those harmful chemicals from attaching to the proteins in your eye lens.
Prevents Protein Clumping: By stopping this chemical binding, it prevents the clear lens proteins from breaking down and clumping together.
Slows Cataract Growth: While it cannot completely reverse or melt away an advanced, hard cataract, using it steadily helps stop an early cataract from growing denser, preserving your current vision and slowing down the need for immediate surgery.
🚨 Critical Preparation Warning: Catalin is uniquely packaged as a dry tablet and a separate bottle of liquid solvent. You must strictly never put the dry tablet directly into your eye, and you must never use the liquid solvent by itself.
You must completely dissolve the tablet inside the liquid solvent bottle following the exact clean steps below before using it.
Once you mix the tablet with the liquid, the drops become highly delicate. You must strictly throw away the mixed bottle after exactly 20 days, even if there is still medicine left inside. After 20 days, the active pirenoxine loses its strength and can collect harmful bacteria.
Contact Lenses: If you wear contact lenses, strictly remove them before putting Catalin drops into your eyes. Wait at least 15 to 20 minutes after using the drops before putting your lenses back in, as the medicine can discolor soft lenses.
Strictly for Early Stages: This medicine is designed for early, developing senile cataracts. It is not effective for advanced cataracts that completely block vision, which standardly require a quick surgical replacement by an ophthalmologist.
The Normal Amount: The standard dose is 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s), 3 to 5 times every day, or exactly as directed by your eye specialist.
How to Mix the Bottle: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap. Uncap the liquid solvent bottle and drop the small Catalin tablet directly inside the liquid. Twist the cap back on tightly and shake the bottle gently until the tablet is completely dissolved. The liquid will turn into a clear, light red or orange color.
Do Not Touch the Tip: Never let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelashes, fingers, or any surface. This keeps the solution sterile and free from germs.
1.Wash hands and tilt your head back:Preparation.
Clean your hands completely. Tilt your head back, look up at the ceiling, and gently pull your lower eyelid down to create a small pocket.
2.Squeeze 1 drop without touching the eye:Application.
Hold the mixed Catalin bottle upside down over your eye. Squeeze gently to release exactly 1 drop into the eyelid pocket. Do not touch your eye with the tip.
3.Close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes:Absorb.
Close your eye gently and press your finger lightly against the inner corner of your eye (near your nose) for 60 seconds to stop the liquid from draining away too fast.
Catalin eye drops are highly localized and exceptionally safe for long-term use. A few people might notice minor, temporary changes right after applying a drop:
A mild stinging, burning, or watering sensation in the eye that goes away within 1 to 2 minutes.
Temporary mild blurred vision right after application (avoid driving until your vision clears up completely).
Mild local redness or itching if your eyes are highly sensitive.
Can Catalin eye drops cure my blurry vision permanently?
Catalin is a protective, preventative medicine. It stops early cataracts from getting worse, but it cannot repair old lens tissue that has already grown completely cloudy. If your vision is heavily blurred, you should visit an eye clinic for a comprehensive checkup.
Can I use Catalin at the same time as my regular glaucoma or dry-eye drops?
Yes, but you must space them out. If you use multiple types of eye drops, wait at least 10 to 15 minutes between each product so the first medicine has time to absorb fully without being washed away by the second one. Always apply your eye ointments last.
How should I store the mixed bottle?
Before mixing, store the pack at room temperature. The exact moment you dissolve the tablet into the solvent, it is best to store the bottle in a cool place or inside your refrigerator (strictly away from the freezer compartment) to maintain its chemical stability. Keep it away from direct hot sunlight and out of the reach of children.
Because ophthalmic solutions directly touch your delicate eye tissues, they require a strictly authentic, highly regulated supply chain to ensure they are kept safe from tropical heat degradation and bacterial contamination. To ensure you are buying 100% genuine, factory-authenticated, and safely stored Catalin Eye Drops, you can order directly online through Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores. We provide verified safe pharmaceutical handling, clean packaging, and fast delivery straight to your door anywhere in Nigeria.
Notice: This guide is for learning and general wellness support. Eye drops do not replace regular professional eye exams. If you experience sudden, severe eye pain, a rapid decrease in your vision, continuous heavy redness, or sudden swelling of the eyelids, stop use immediately and see an eye doctor or go to the nearest clinic right away.
