This medication is used to treat swelling (inflammation) and pain in the eye after a certain type of eye surgery (cataract surgery). Bromfenac belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the effects of certain natural substances (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation.

Temporary irritation/burning/stinging of the eye, temporary blurred vision, watery eyes, or headache may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
