Why is it important?
Based on the results obtained from the OCT measurement, no significant differences were found in macular thickness variation among the groups of patients who used prophylactic eye drops of nepafenac, ketorolac tromethamine, or propylene glycol after uncomplicated phacoemulsification.
Perspectives
This finding of this study alerts us to the potential effectiveness of combination therapies and the need for additional studies to evaluate this possibility.
