Report: NSAIDs do not prevent long-term vision loss from CME after cataract surgery
There is insufficient evidence that prophylactic NSAIDs alone or in conjunction with corticosteroids reduce vision loss from cystoid macular edema 3 months or more after cataract surgery, according to an American Academy of Ophthalmology report.CME often resolves spontaneously. Although NSAIDs before surgery may speed visual recovery and reduce the incidence of CME in the short term, there is no evidence that they affect long-term visual outcomes, the report authors said.
