Key Takeaways:
- Prolensa (bromfenac 0.07%) is FDA-approved for the treatment of postoperative inflammation and reduction of ocular pain in patients who have undergone cataract surgery. Topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) — blocks cyclooxygenase to reduce prostaglandin-mediated inflammation. Once-daily dosing for convenience.
- Without assistance, brand Prolensa costs commonly run approximately $200–$320 per bottle (typical surgical course).
- Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients can access Prolensa for a flat $69.95 per month.
- Other topical ophthalmic NSAIDs: Ilevro (nepafenac 0.3% once daily — generic available), Nevanac (nepafenac 0.1% three times daily — generic available), Acuvail (ketorolac 0.45% — generic), Acular LS (ketorolac 0.4% — generic), Voltaren (diclofenac — generic), generic bromfenac 0.09% (Bromday — also once daily, less concentrated than Prolensa). For non-surgical inflammation: post-operative steroids (prednisolone acetate 1% generic, difluprednate/Durezol, Lotemax). Many cataract surgeons use NSAID + steroid combination protocols.
What is PROLENSA Prescription Assistance Program?
The Prolensa Patient Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that helps eligible patients access Prolensa (used for postoperative inflammation and ocular pain reduction after cataract surgery) at little or no cost when they meet specific income, insurance, and clinical criteria. The program is free to apply for, but the enrollment process involves detailed applications, ophthalmology coordination, supporting documentation, and ongoing renewal — which can be overwhelming when you are recovering from cataract surgery.
At AffordMyPrescriptions, our Patient Advocates handle the entire Prolensa PAP enrollment for a flat $69.95 per month. We complete the application, coordinate with your surgeon for required medical documentation, follow up with the manufacturer’s program until approval, manage your post-operative refills (typically a 2- to 6-week course), and handle annual re-certification — so you never face a gap in your Prolensa post-surgical therapy.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your Prolensa enrollment — from the initial application through ongoing refills and annual re-enrollment — so you never face a gap in your post-cataract surgery treatment.
Pharmacy Price Comparison
- Without assistance, Prolensa costs over $200 per bottle at retail pharmacies. Discount cards and pharmacy coupons offer some relief, but they don't come close to what a Patient Assistance Program provides if you qualify. The table below compares typical retail pricing across major pharmacies to what you'd pay with our Prolensa advocacy service:
| Pharmacy(With Coupon) | PrIce (30-Day)* | You Save W/ Us |
|---|---|---|
| Walgreens (brand) | ~$300/bottle | Save substantially |
| CVS Pharmacy (brand) | ~$320/bottle | Save substantially |
| Walmart (brand) | ~$220/bottle | Save substantially |
| Costco (brand) | ~$200/bottle | Save substantially |
| Generic bromfenac 0.09% | ~$45/bottle | Generic alt similar drug |

Why choose us For Your Prolensa Prescription Program ?
The Prolensa Patient Assistance Program is free to apply and provides medication at no cost if approved. But the process involves detailed applications, prescriber coordination, documentation, and ongoing management — applications that are commonly delayed or denied when paperwork is incomplete. Our $69.95 per month covers full advocacy: applications, doctor coordination, documentation, refill management, and re-enrollment — so you focus on your health, not paperwork. Generic bromfenac and other generic ophthalmic NSAIDs (ketorolac, diclofenac, nepafenac) are very inexpensive effective alternatives.

Understanding Prolensa:
Prolensa is a topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used after cataract surgery to reduce inflammation and pain. The 0.07% concentration allows once-daily dosing — improving adherence vs older topical NSAIDs requiring multiple daily doses. Typically used in combination with topical antibiotic and steroid drops in standard post-cataract surgery protocols.
How Prolensa works:
Cataract surgery triggers ocular inflammation through tissue manipulation, releasing prostaglandins and other mediators. Inflammation contributes to post-operative pain, photophobia, and rare complications like cystoid macular edema.
Bromfenac (Prolensa) inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) — blocking prostaglandin synthesis. Reduces post-operative inflammation, pain, and possibly the risk of cystoid macular edema. Once-daily 0.07% dosing offers convenience over older NSAID drops requiring 3–4 doses daily. Combined with topical antibiotic (for infection prevention) and steroid (for stronger anti-inflammatory effect) in standard post-cataract protocols.
Form and use:
Prolensa (bromfenac 0.07%) ophthalmic solution. 1 drop in affected eye once daily, starting 1 day before cataract surgery, continued the day of surgery, and continued for 14 days post-operatively. Specific timing per surgeon’s protocol. Wait 5–10 minutes between drop classes (NSAID, steroid, antibiotic) if multiple drops are used.
Generic availability:
Generic bromfenac 0.09% (similar but slightly higher concentration than Prolensa 0.07%; once-daily dosing) widely available. Other ophthalmic NSAIDs (most with generic options): nepafenac 0.1% (Nevanac three times daily — generic) and 0.3% (Ilevro once daily — generic), ketorolac 0.4% (Acular LS — generic) and 0.5%, diclofenac (Voltaren — generic). Post-cataract steroid drops: prednisolone acetate 1% (generic — most common), difluprednate 0.05% (Durezol), loteprednol 0.5% (Lotemax — generic). Post-cataract antibiotic drops: generic fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin), polymyxin/trimethoprim, fortified options. Some surgeons use intraocular antibiotic (intracameral moxifloxacin) and reduced topical drop regimens.
Warnings:
Class effects of topical ophthalmic NSAIDs: corneal complications (epithelial breakdown, melting, perforation — rare but serious, especially with concurrent steroids, complicated surgery, ocular surface disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or repeat surgeries), delayed wound healing, increased bleeding risk (post-operative hyphema — rare), local irritation, transient stinging on instillation, ocular hyperemia. Bronchospasm in NSAID-sensitive asthmatics. Cross-reactivity with aspirin, acetaminophen, and other NSAIDs in sensitive patients. Use with caution with concurrent steroid eye drops in complicated cases.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How Much Does Prolensa Cost Without Insurance?
Brand Prolensa $200–$320 per bottle for a typical surgical course. Generic bromfenac 0.09% costs $35–$60 per bottle. Generic ketorolac 0.5% costs $25–$40.
What is the difference between Prolensa and generic bromfenac 0.09%?
Both contain bromfenac. Prolensa is 0.07% (lower concentration, designed for tolerability and once-daily dosing). Generic bromfenac 0.09% (originally Bromday) is also once-daily but slightly higher concentration. Clinical efficacy is comparable; generic is substantially cheaper.
Why aren't generic ophthalmic NSAIDs tried before Prolensa?
They typically are — generic bromfenac, ketorolac, diclofenac, and nepafenac are commonly used after cataract surgery, with the choice often driven by surgeon preference, insurance formulary, and patient tolerability rather than meaningful clinical superiority.
Why is Prolensa used after cataract surgery?
Post-cataract NSAIDs reduce inflammation, pain, and may reduce the risk of cystoid macular edema. They’re typically combined with a topical steroid for stronger anti-inflammatory effect and a topical antibiotic for infection prevention.
What are the most common side effects of Prolensa?
Mild transient stinging on instillation, ocular irritation, foreign body sensation, headache. Rare but serious: corneal melting or perforation (more likely with risk factors), delayed wound healing, bleeding. Inform your surgeon if you have a history of ocular surface disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or aspirin/NSAID sensitivity.
Can I take Prolensa if I have aspirin or NSAID allergy?
Cross-reactivity with systemic NSAIDs is possible. Inform your surgeon of any aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or other NSAID allergy before starting Prolensa.
What happens if my Prolensa Patient Assistance Program application is denied?
We help explore generic bromfenac 0.09% (substantial savings), generic ketorolac 0.5%, generic diclofenac, generic nepafenac, manufacturer copay programs for commercial insurance, surgeon-provided samples, and discussion of post-operative drop regimen optimization with your cataract surgeon.
