Emerging guidelines for use of NSAID therapy to optimize cataract surgery patient care.

摘要

This analysis provides guidelines for the proper use of topical ophthalmic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), discusses their effect on inflammation, and their role in the prevention of cystoid macular edema (CME). A novel treatment strategy is presented for recommended topical ophthalmic NSAID dosing in patient populations based on risk factors for CME. The article reviews current topical ophthalmic NSAIDs, as well as a newest generation of pro-drug NSAIDs. In addition, combination therapy of NSAIDs and corticosteroids are discussed, along with a general review of therapeutic guidelines for dosing regimens, and benefits and risks of therapy. The goal of this analysis is to provide a suggested therapeutic regimen with topical NSAIDs to assist in achieving optimal clinical and functional outcomes.
