Omidria and Dexycu, or Omidria and Dextenza Compared to Topical Prednisolone Acetate 1% Following Cataract Surgery

Evaluation of Efficacy in the Resolution of Post-Operative Inflammation and Pain in Patients Receiving Omidria and Dexycu, or Omidria and Dextenza Compared to Topical Prednisolone Acetate 1% Following Cataract Surgery

This research will evaluate the efficacy of Omidria and Dexycu, Omidria and Dextenza, and Omidria and prednisolone acetate 1% in the resolution of post-operative inflammation and pain following cataract surgery.

Prospective, randomized trial where patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups, each with a sample size of 25 (total n=75). Group 1 will receive DEXYCU + Omidria (Omidria = ketorolac + phenylephrine), group 2 will receive DEXTENZA + Omidria, and group 3 will receive prednisolone acetate + Omidria. Each of the drug combinations used in each of the 3 groups is standard of care, FDA approved, and will be used on label. 1:1:1, n=75 with 25 subjects assigned to each of the 3 groups.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients 18 years of age or older, undergoing routine, uncomplicated cataract surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any history of corneal dystrophy, corneal surgery within 6 months of cataract surgery, previous intraocular surgery, any concomitant eye drop use besides artificial tears, previous ocular trauma, or a history of treated glaucoma. No additional procedures can be done at the time of cataract surgery (e.g., stent placement, endo-laser, etc.), but femto-second laser-assisted surgery is permitted.
