Abstract
Public health is at risk because of the emerging trend of misuse and abuse of medications. With time there has been a trend of ophthalmic
medication misuse. The difference between misuse and abuse is how they affect people's ability to feel good, unwind, have hallucinations, and have
fewer symptoms of depression. Topical anaesthetic is commonly used by ophthalmologists in clinical practice, and in emergencies to remove
corneal foreign bodies. In ophthalmology, proparacaine hydrochloride, also known as 2-(diethylamino) ethyl 3-amino-4-propoxybenzoate
hydrochloride, is a common choice for topical anaesthesia. But these drugs are rarely prescribed to patients because of their easy availability their
misuse is increasing tremendously leading to sight-threatening side effects. This article highlights the side effects and properties of proparacaine
hydrochloride.
