Omidria reduces cataract surgery time, complications
NEW ORLEANS — Intracameral phenylephrine combined with ketorolac during cataract surgery was associated with a significantly lower complication rate than epinephrine injection, a speaker told colleagues here.“Intracameral phenylephrine/ketorolac administration, when compared to intracameral epinephrine in routine cataract surgery, was associated with a statistically significant reduction in use of pupillary mydriatic-assist devices, a decrease in intraoperative and postoperative complications, improvement in uncorrected visual acuity postop day 1 and a decrease in overall procedural time,” Eric Rosenberg, DO, MSE, said at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting.
