"A Prospective Study of the Efficacy of Intracameral Dexamethasone (Dexycu™) Compared to Standard of Care Treatment for Post-Cataract Surgical Pain and Anterior Chamber Inflammation"

NCT04781335 PHASE4 COMPLETED

Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure performed on humans today. The postoperative regimen includes a combination of steroids, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and antibiotics. Those are used to decrease the possibility of infection, inflammation that may lead to corneal and macular edema and pain management. There are several FDA approved agents either for topical use as single drug delivery or combination solutions for topical use as well; furthermore, there are slow release vehicles that may be placed at the time of surgery or postoperatively (at the lower punctum). The latter provides a less intense and demanding drop schedule and may improve patient compliance.
