Abstract

Purpose

To compare the efficacy of nepafenac on anterior chamber flare and intraocular pressure(IOP) in healthy (group 1) and uveitic eyes (group 2) undergoing cataract surgery.

Methods

A retrospective, consecutive case series study.

Results

Among 54 the patients, 14 had a history of uveitis. The groups were similar in age and gender. There were significant changes in flare values in both groups. When the temporal changes of flare values were compared, there was no difference between the two groups. There were no significant changes in IOP values in both group. When the temporal changes of IOP values were compared, there was no difference between the groups.

Conclusions

Nepafenac 0.1% has been shown to be effective in suppressing inflammation after cataract surgery in uveitic eyes as well as in healthy eyes. In addition, it has been observed that it does not increase intraocular pressure in both healthy and uveitic eyes and it is safe to use with this regard.
