Summary
Phacoemulsification is a quick method with less complication for cataract surgery. Due to the
use of ultrasonic energy, it produced more post-operative inflammation than other methods.
Many routes of steroid had been used to control post-operative inflammation. The
investigators here compare the efficacy of single depot steroid subtenon injection (20-mg
triamcinolone) with four-time-a-day steroid eye drop (0.1% dexamethasone) in controlling
inflammation after uneventful phacoemulsification.
