Purpose: To determine whether nepafenac ophthalmic suspension 0.3% in co-administration with dexamethasone 0.1%, effectively reduces the incidence of Irvine-Gass syndrome, after uneventful cataract surgery.
Setting: Laserlens One Day Clinic. Ioannina-Greece
Design: Prospective, comparative, interventional and randomized study. (N=200).
Methods: We included 200 eyes that required phacoemulsification and uncomplicated cataract surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: first group (right eye) included nepafenac 0.3% + dexamethasone 0.1% ophthalmic suspension. Second group (left eye) included dexamethasone 0.1% alone. On thirtieth and ninetieth day after surgery optical coherence tomography was carried out; fluorescein retinal angiography study was performed to confirm the CME.
