A DEXTENZA Insert for Cataract Surgery is a tremendous new way to make cataract surgery safer and more convenient! Reduce pain, inflammation and speed recovery…drop free!

A study sponsored by Ocular Therapeutixs to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Dextenza, was conducted by Dr. Spencer. The DEXTENZA Insert was used in complex and combined cataract and glaucoma procedures. Dr. Spencer’s published research study presented at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ASCRS) conference, demonstrated improved outcomes and pain control. This improved efficacy in treatment and reduced patient burden.

The New DEXTENZA Insert for Cataract Surgery provides an opportunity for Dr. Spencer to help patients reduce the burden of their post-op steroid drop regimen. One Insert can replace the need for patients to administer up to 70 steroid eye drops during their recovery period. This is extremely important for patients who have difficulty placing drops into their eyes and can help patients heal faster.

DEXTENZA is also approved for control of itching from Allergic Conjunctivitis, can you imagine Allergy Relief without having to use eye drops! Dr. Spencer can place the Dextenza insert before an allergy flare-up, to help provide allergy symptom relief for up to 30 days. A welcome relief for allergy sufferers!

DEXTENZA is a preservative-free intracanalicular insert that is inserted in the lower lacrimal punctum, tear duct opening. DEXTENZA is designed to deliver a tapered dose of steroid (dexamethasone) to the ocular surface for up to 30 days. Following treatment, DEXTENZA resorbs and exits the nasolacrimal system without the need for removal. This consistent delivery of medication optimizes your recovery treatment from day one!
