taining the NSAID
ketorolac and the
dilating agent
phenylephrine.
Omidria is adminis-
tered through bal-
anced saline solution
during surgery. "If the
pupil is a good size at
the start of the case,
Omidria will keep it
big," says Dr. Weston.
Omidria, which is
FDA approved to
maintain pupil dila-
tion and improve
post-op healing, costs
about $465 for a 4 ml
bottle used during a
case. Paying that
price would be too
expensive for routine
use during cataract
surgery, but CMS has
granted Omidria pass-
through status until
Oct. 1, 2020. That
means surgery cen-
ters and HOPDs can
bill CMS separately
