Some studies revealed that NSAIDs play a significant role in prevention of PCME among patients underwent cataract surgery. Is it significant among all or among patient with high risk only? Some advice the use of NSAIDs pre and other advice its use postoperatively!! Is NSAIDs now a routine among all patients having cataract surgey?
For me, I use nebafenac eye drops three times daily, one day preoperative and 14 days postoperatively
Thanks Dana, the citations attached are realy helpful.
Thanks Mohamed Nagy. I guess the protocol you are following is nice
I don’t think routine use of NSAIDs for all patients is necessary. we usually add it to patients who had a complicated surgery (PCR + Vitreous loss), or those who have a significant corneal edema due to excessive ultrasound power (CDE 15++).
I’ve also worked with consultants who like to add NSAID drops for all diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery.
