What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Resolution of Anterior Chamber Cells (ACC).
Time Frame: Visit 5 (Postoperative day 8)
Number of Study eyes with complete resolution(Grade 0) of anterior chamber cells (ACC) for loteprednol and vehicle. Accumulation of white cells in aqueous graded on a scale of 0-4 where grade 0=no cells. Investigators assessed ACC using a slit lamp.
Visit 5 (Postoperative day 8)
Grade 0 Pain
Time Frame: Visit 5 (Postoperative Day 8)
Number of eyes with grade 0 ocular pain. Ocular pain, defined as a positive sensation of the eye, based on a 0-5 scale where grade 0 equaled no pain and grade 5 equaled severe pain. Ocular pain graded by participants.
Visit 5 (Postoperative Day 8)

Secondary Outcome Measures
