Abstract :

 A  retrospective randomized comparative study was carried out in 100 patients to compare efficacy between moxifloxacin difluprednate(group A–50 patients) vs. moxifloxacin dexamethasone(group B–50 patients) eye drops to reduce post cataract inflammation in terms of reduction in anterior chamber cells and flares and pain relief and were followed up on day 1,3,5,7,45 and 90. On 5th postoperative day, cell count decreased from baseline by 96.75% in group B vs. 99.24% in group A.As well 100% reduction from baseline in anterior chamber flare found in group A as compared to 85.7% in group B. Our study showed that speed of recovery from inflammation is more with moxifloxacin difluprednate than moxifloxacin dexamethasone. Study also showed that moxifloxacin difluprednate is more efficacious than moxifloxacin dexamethasone although costlier
