To evaluate the efficacy and ocular safety of bromfenac ophthalmic solution (bromfenac) 0.1% dosed twice daily for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain after pterygium excision with amniotic membrane transplantation(AMT).

Patients scheduled to undergo pterygium excision with AMT were randomized to receive added topical bromfenac or artificial lacrima at 3 days before and 7 days after the surgery. Pain intensity was evaluated with the visual analog scale(VAS) and present pain index(PPI) with the short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire. psychological state used Self-rating of Depression Scale(SDS) and Self-rating of Anxiety Scale (SAS) to assess.

The irritative symptoms evaluation was carried out by an independent investigator at each visit with questionnaires of ocular symptom scores(OSS). Corneal epithelial healing rate was calculated after following up. All patients had follow-ups at the day 1, day 3, day7 and day 10.
