NSAIDs may inhibit prostaglandin release in femtosecond cataract surgery

Pretreatment with NSAIDs reduced prostaglandin release in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, according to a study.“Therefore, it has potential to limit intraoperative laser-induced miosis,” the study authors said. “Previous studies detected elevated prostaglandin levels after femtosecond laser treatment and identified them as a potential mediator for laser-induced miosis.”
