Dropless cataract surgery using intraoperative subconjunctival triamcinolone: a multicentre comparative analysis of 22,000 eyes

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to compare postoperative inflammatory and visual outcomes between dropless cataract surgery using intraoperative subconjunctival triamcinolone and conventional topical steroid therapy. Their analysis of 34,846 eyes revealed no significant differences in rates of cystoid macular edema, postoperative uveitis, or steroid-related intraocular pressure elevation between the two groups, suggesting that dropless surgery is a safe and effective alternative to traditional postoperative regimens.
