Eye drops after cataract surgery may prevent blurring swelling
NCT ID NCT07696104
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study compares four different anti-inflammatory eye drop schedules to prevent cystoid macular edema, a common cause of blurred vision after cataract surgery. About 88 adults having routine cataract surgery receive one of four NSAID regimens for 2 or 4 weeks after the procedure. Researchers measure retinal thickness and vision at 6 and 12 weeks to see which approach best prevents swelling.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bromfenac, Nepafenac, Diclofenac (NSAID eye drops)
- What this could lead to
- If one regimen works best, it could become the standard way to prevent post-cataract eye swelling, improving recovery and vision outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with 88 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. NSAID eye drops can cause eye irritation or other side effects.
