A Comparison of 0.5% Loteprednol Etabonate Versus 1% Prednisolone Acetate Following Cataract Surgery

June 28, 2017 updated by: Stephen S. Lane, MD, Associated Eye Care, Minnesota

A Randomized, Multicenter, Masked Evaluation of 0.5% Loteprednol Etabonate Versus 1% Prednisolone Acetate for the Treatment of Inflammation Following Cataract Surgery

Patients are routinely given steroid eye drops following cataract surgery. This study will compare 2 approved drops:Loteprednol Etabonate versus Prednisolone Acetate Eye drops used following cataract surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to one drop or the other, and evaluated for inflammation and intraocular pressure as part of the comparison. The study Doctor will be masked as to which drop the patient receives to avoid bias.
