Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the post-operative treatment of ophthalmic patients

Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) after cataract extraction. To determine the NSAID’s role in post-operative inflammatory processes treatment. Results: the rationale of NSAIDs use before and after cataract surgery was validated. The NSAIDs efficacy in terms of post-op inflammation reduction was confirmed. Among NSAIDs benefits, the convenient and easy-to-use instillation regimen of Bromfenac 0.09% eye drops solution was highlighted.
