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 postoperative anti-inflammatory treatments to be thought provoking.1 First and foremost, of all the treatments administered in this report, only the topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and topical corticosteroids are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) –approved products, each for reduction of postoperative inflammation. None of the products is approved for the prevention of cystoid macular edema. Furthermore, the corticosteroid and antibiotic injected intraocularly is an unapproved product.
