Effectiveness of Periocular Drug Injection in CATaract Surgery

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2021
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a major cause of suboptimal postoperative visual acuity after cataract surgery. Topical steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to prevent CME. However, noncompliance with eye drops may compromise the effectiveness of treatment. Dropless periocular drug delivery during cataract surgery may improve the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of cataract surgery, and may alleviate the burden on homecare organizations.
