Quantitative Comparison of the Efficacy of Subtenon 20-mg Triamcinolone Injection With 0.1% Dexamethasone Eye Drop in Controlling Intraocular Inflammation After Phacoemulsification
Phacoemulsification is a quick method with less complication for cataract surgery. Due to the use of ultrasonic energy, it produced more post-operative inflammation than other methods. Many routes of steroid had been used to control post-operative inflammation. The investigators here compare the efficacy of single depot steroid subtenon injection (20-mg triamcinolone) with four-time-a-day steroid eye drop (0.1% dexamethasone) in controlling inflammation after uneventful phacoemulsification.
