Topical Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs in Ophthalmology

Topically applied nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in the management of postoperative ocular inflammation and for the prevention and treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery. In addition, they are useful for the prevention of intraoperative miosis during cataract surgery, for the relief of symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, and for the reduction of ocular discomfort after refractive surgery. In this chapter, the current status of topically applied NSAIDs and their potential therapeutic benefit for ophthalmic disorders are summarized.
