Comparing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Visual Acuity Outcomes in Subjects Undergoing Cataract Surgery, Who Receive Xibrom Ophthalmic Solution and Standard Presurgical Care vs. Xibrom Ophthalmic Solution Plus Prednisolone Acetate 1% and Standard Presurgical Care

June 8, 2009 updated by: Bp Consulting, Inc

A Prospective, Randomized Single-Masked Clinical Trial Comparing OCT and Visual Acuity Outcomes in Subjects Undergoing Cataract Surgery, Who Receive Xibrom Ophthalmic Solution and Standard Presurgical Care vs. Xibrom Ophthalmic Solution Plus Prednisolone Acetate 1% and Standard Presurgical Care

To compare the efficacy of twice-daily topical bromfenac (Xibrom) ophthalmic solution alone versus twice-daily topical Xibrom with prednisolone acetate 1% three-times daily on visual acuity and OCT measurements.

    o Artificial tears may be used

  • Diabetics with any clinically evident or history of retinopathy
  • Individuals with age-related macular changes, epi-retinal membranes, other retino-vascular diseases and/or other macular disorders thought to have a less than 20/25 surgical outcome expectation
  • Abnormal pre-operative OCT (if obtainable)
