Comment on Non-Infectious Outcomes of Intravitreal Antibiotic-Steroid Injection and Topical NSAID Versus Triple Drop Therapy Post Cataract Surgery

I found the report of Mian et al regarding the comparison of injected vs topical post-operative anti-inflammatory treatments to be thought provoking.1 First and foremost, of all the treatments administered in this report, only the topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) and topical corticosteroids are FDA approved products, each for reduction of post-operative inflammation. None of the products is approved for the prevention of cystoid macular edema. Further, the corticosteroid and antibiotic injected intraocularly is an unapproved product.
