Subject: A multicentric, cross-sectional, observational survey study to understand the role of Nepafenac 0.1% eye drops in management of post op inflammation and pain after cataract surgery
Ocular inflammation is common after cataract surgery. Complications resulting from inflammation include increased intraocular pressure, posterior capsular opacification, cystoid macular edema, and decreased visual acuity. Topical NSAIDs are widely used and they reduce inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. They have been shown to be clinically effective in controlling inflammation after cataract surgery. Nepafenac is an effective cyclooxygenase 1 and cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor. Nepafenac 0.1% is indicated for the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.
Nepafenac 0.1% eye drops is marketed by the Avesta team of Sun Pharma as ‘Nepalact Z’. It is Benzalkonium chloride (BKC) free formulation and has Polyhexamethylene Biguanide Hydrochloride 0.01% as preservative.
This multicentric, cross-sectional observational survey study is planned to understand the role of Nepafenac 0.1% eye drops in management of post op inflammation and pain after cataract surgery.
