Abstract :

Cataract surgery is relatively an inexpensive surgery but the quality of life solely depends upon whether the first or the second eye is operated. Methods: The study was conducted on 150 patients with features suggestive of significant grade of age related senile cataract were included in three different groups of 50 patients each and were instilled two topical NSAIDS alongwith topical steroids in post–cataract surgery. The comparison was done amongst the groups for better control of anterior chamber post–opertaive reaction and pseudophakic cystoid macular edema. Results: There was comparable control of anterior chamber recation between Nepafenac and Ketorolac but far better control over topical steroid as a monotherapy alone and Nepafenac control of CME was better than use of Topical steroid/ or with topical Ketorolac.
