Evaluation of a new tropical steroid, fluorometholone, in the postoperative course of the cataract operation
Abstract
This is a study of the effect of steroids on ocular tension, in the postoperative course, in a group of 23 patients operated upon simultaneously for cataract in both eyes. In the right eye fluorometholone and in the left eye dexamethasone drops were instilled 3 times a day. Tensions which were somewhat higher were appreciated after the third week of the postoperative course in the eyes treated with dexamethasone.
