Prolensa<\/span><\/a> (bromfenac 0.7%) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug in the form of an eye drop used for ocular inflammation and ocular pain following cataract surgery. It is an ophthalmic solution applied directly to the eye from a dropper bottle. Without insurance, Prolensa will cost, on average, $475 for one 3 mL bottle of the 0.07% solution. There is not an over-the-counter equivalent, but there is a generic prescription equivalent, which may make more affordable options available to patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Prolensa covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prolensa is typically covered by both commercial and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, but your out-of-pocket price may depend on your plan.

Consult your plan or pharmacist for more details on your prescription medication coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does Prolensa cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The cost of Prolensa eye drops without insurance may vary by pharmacy. The average price is $475 for one, 3 mL bottle of the 0.07% solution. The typical treatment duration with Prolensa is 15 days, with treatment starting one day before cataract surgery and continuing 14 days after surgery. The treatment regimen is one drop once daily. The 3 mL bottle is sufficient for two cataract surgeries, one in each eye (30-day supply total). Additional refills would only be needed if the surgeries are performed with a large amount of time in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

If paying for the brand-name Prolensa is not a reasonable option, there are other prescription savings options to consider. The most direct alternative is the generic Prolensa, bromfenac 0.07% solution, which you can obtain as low as $118 with a free <\/span>SingleCare<\/span><\/a> savings card. Other topical eye drop NSAIDs may be appropriate if Prolensa is not reasonable or covered at all.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
