Properties and Mode of Action and Doses
BENOX is benoxinate hydrochloride, the effective surface anaesthetic used in short ophthalmological procedures.
One drop instilled into the conjunctival sac anaesthetises the surface sufficiently to allow tonometry after 60 seconds and a further drop after 90 seconds provides adequate anaesthesia for the fitting of contact lenses.
Three drops at 90 second intervals produces sufficient anaesthesia after 5 minutes for a foreign body to be removed from the corneal epithelium or for incision of a Meibomian cyst through the conjunctiva.
The sensitivity of the cornea after 3 drops is normal again in about 1 hour, whereas after one drop the effective anaesthesia lasts 10-15 minutes.
BENOX, has an additional advantage in that it possesses bactericidal properties.
