ABSTRACT
Aim:
To compare the effi cacy of postoperative topical nepafenac (0.1%) with prednisolone acetate (1%) as anti-infl ammatory agents in eyes undergoing Transscleral Sutureless Vitrectomy (TSV). Se ings andDesign:
Prospective, double-blind, randomized, single center clinical study. Materials andMethods:
Eighty eyes of 76 subjects, who underwent small gauge vitrectomy, were included in the study. The subjects who fulfi lled the inclusion criteria were randomized to either topical nepafenac only (Group 1) or prednisolone acetate only (Group 2), to be used as postoperative anti-infl ammatory agents. The subjects were reviewed on days 1, 30, and 90. Ocular and adnexal infl ammation was appropriately graded using the standardized classifi cation. Grading of ocular pain was done on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). StatisticalAnalysis:
The Wilcoxon rank-sum test, using two-sided analysis, was used.Results:
During the follow-up, both Group 1 and Group 2 did not have a signifi cant diff erence related to the grade of the anterior chamber infl ammation (P > 0.05) or adnexal infl ammation (P > 0.05). Pain perception was less in the subjects in Group 1 as compared to subjects in Group 2, but was not statistically signifi cant (P > 0.05).Conclusion:
Postoperative topical nepafenac was non-inferior to prednisolone acetate in reducing postoperative ocular infl ammation in eyes undergoing TSV.
