Clinical Trial: Study of Difluprednate vs. Prednisolone Acetate on Visual Acuity, and Corneal Edema Following Cataract Surgery.
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: A Randomized, Masked Multi-center Safety & Efficacy Study of the Effects of Preoperative & Postoperative Cataract Surgery Use of Difluprednate Ophthalmic Emulsion, 0.05% Compared to Prednisolo
Brief Summary: The purpose of this clinical research study is to investigate the efficacy of predosing patients undergoing cataract surgery with the potent corticosteroid difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% compared to prednisolone acetate 1% on corneal edema (swelling), and retinal thickness.
