A Randomized, Masked Comparison of Topical Ketorolac 0,4% Versus Placebo in Cataract Surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare effects of preoperative and postoperative use of topical ketorolac tromethamine 0.4% versus placebo in uncomplicated cataract surgery. Patients scheduled to undergo phacoemulsification will be randomized to receive either topical prednisolone acetate 1% 4 times daily (QID) plus dextran 70/hypromellose QID (placebo group) or topical prednisolone 1% QID plus ketorolac tromethamine 0.4% QID (ketorolac group) for three days preoperatively and four weeks postoperatively. The primary outcome 5 weeks after surgery will be angiographic cystoid macular edema.
