A Study Comparing Sub-Tenon Steroid Injection Versus Eye Drops for Reducing Postoperative Inflammation After Cataract Surgery

After cataract surgery, postoperative inflammation is commonly treated with corticosteroid eye drops such as prednisolone acetate 1%. However, frequent dosing may reduce patient compliance. This study compares topical corticosteroid drops with a single sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone acetonide in controlling postoperative inflammation after uncomplicated cataract surgery.
