antimicrobial
wont stain contact lenses

GAT
Proparacaine
causes less pain than tetracaine and has fewer side effects
Which is a more powerful anesthetic, Proparacaine or Tetracaine?
Tetracaine
stings more as well

inhibits corneal epithelial cell healing
Most common injected anesthetic
lidocaine hydrochloride
