Poor enrollment

This prospective, open-label, single-center, randomized, investigator-sponsored clinical study seeks to investigate: how will pseudophakic patients respond in terms of objective and subjective outcomes, when treated with Dextenza compared to topical prednisolone acetate following gas bubble repair and laser for RD.

Subjects who have given informed consent and determined to be eligible at screening will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to DEXTENZA (placed once in the lower punctum) or the use of topical Prednisolone acetate 1% drops (four times daily). They will be observed for a period of 3-months for both pain and inflammation of the eye.

• Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study related procedures
• Willing and able to sign the informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:
