No Drop Post-Op Cataract Surgery
brief summary
This study evaluates the effect of Intraocular Phenylephrine/Ketorolac Infusion on Retinal Thickness and Macular Edema in Cataract Surgery. Participants will receive infusions of Phenylephrine/Ketorolac during surgery instead of receiving topical NSAID drops pre and post operatively.
detailed description
Topical NSAIDs have been known to reduce post-operative macular edema, inflammation and pain in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Routine cataract surgery without the protection of topical NSAIDs results in an increase of the number of patients with macular edema and macular thickening.
Omidria (phenylephrine and ketorolac injection 1%/0.3%) infusion is used in patients during cataract surgery to decrease post-operative pain and inflammation. It is also indicated to maintain pupil dilation during cataract surgery.
This study will evaluate whether treating patients with Omidria during cataract surgery will control post-operative pain and inflammation as well as reduce or eliminate macular edema without the use of adjunctive topical NSAIDs.
