The effectiveness of topical diclofenac in relieving discomfort following traumatic corneal abrasions

D G Jayamanne et al. Eye (Lond). 1997.

Abstract

Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug available in an ophthalmic preparation. We present a prospective randomised double-masked placebo-controlled trial involving 40 patients that assessed the effectiveness of topical diclofenac in relieving pain from traumatic corneal abrasions. Statistical analysis of visual analogue and categorical pain scores revealed a significant reduction in pain experienced by subjects in the diclofenac group (p < 0.02).
