Article Synopsis
- - Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) is a complication of cataract surgery that can reduce vision, and the study investigates the effectiveness of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids to prevent it.
- - The research reviewed 18 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 3,000 participants, finding that NSAIDs significantly lower the incidence of PCME and improve visual acuity compared to placebo or steroids alone.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that NSAIDs, whether alone or with steroids, effectively reduce PCME risk, and suggests that further double-blind studies are necessary to create standardized preventive protocols for different patients.
