Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: NEVANAC
One drop three times a day starting on the day prior to cataract surgery (Day -1) and continuing on the day of surgery (Day 0) and for 90 days thereafter.
|
Drug: Nepafenac ophthalmic suspension, 0.1% (NEVANAC)
1 drop TID beginning the day before surgery, continuing on the day of surgery and through the first 90 days following surgery.
Other Name: NEVANAC Drug: Prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension (OMNIPRED) One drop in the study eye 4 times daily (morning, late morning, late afternoon, and bedtime)for two weeks postsurgery.
Other Name: OMNIPRED |
Placebo Comparator: Nepafenac Vehicle
One drop three times a day starting on the day prior to cataract surgery (Day -1) and continuing on the day of surgery (Day 0) and for 90 days thereafter.

Other: Nepafenac ophthalmic suspension vehicle
1 drop TID beginning the day before surgery, continuing on the day of surgery and through the first 90 days following surgery Drug: Prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension (OMNIPRED) One drop in the study eye 4 times daily (morning, late morning, late afternoon, and bedtime)for two weeks postsurgery.
Other Name: OMNIPRED |
Primary Outcome Measures :
- Percent of Patients Who Developed Macular Edema (ME) Within 90 Days Following Cataract Surgery [ Time Frame: 3 Months ]Macular edema (thickening of the center of the back of the eye) was defined as 30% or greater increase from pre-operative baseline measurement in central subfield macular thickness as measured using Optical Coherence Tomography(OCT).
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Percent of Patients With a Decrease of More Than 5 Letters in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA). [ Time Frame: From Day 7 to Day 90 (or Early Exit) ]BCVA was measured using the procedure developed for the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study.
