June is Cataract Awareness Month, a time dedicated to educating the public about one of the leading causes of vision loss in the United States. According to the National Eye Institute, more than half of Americans aged 80 or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to correct them. At Westmoreland Pharmacy, we recognize the profound impact cataracts can have on quality of life, and we’re proud to support both patients and providers through every step of the cataract surgery process.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a clouding of the lens in the eye that can cause blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. While age is the most common risk factor, cataracts can also result from certain medical conditions, medications, or eye injuries. Fortunately, cataract surgery is safe and highly effective, with millions of procedures performed each year.
Helping Make Cataract Treatment Easier: Introducing EasyCataract®
We understand that undergoing eye surgery can feel overwhelming, not just for patients, but for providers who want to ensure the best outcomes. That’s why Westmoreland Pharmacy developed EasyCataract®, a custom-compounded eye drop designed to help simplify the post-operative care regimen.
Instead of managing multiple bottles of eye drops with different instructions and schedules, EasyCataract® combines three essential medications into one convenient solution:
- Moxifloxacin 0.5% (antibiotic)
- Prednisolone Sodium Phosphate 1% (anti-inflammatory steroid)
- Bromfenac 0.075% (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory)
This all-in-one formulation was created in collaboration with a local eye surgeon who recognized the challenges many patients face when managing multiple prescriptions after surgery. By reducing complexity and improving compliance, EasyCataract® supports faster recovery and greater peace of mind. Find out more
