Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Lotemax eye drops are at least as effective as Pred Forte eye drops, which are the standard of care after cataract surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Prednisolone 1%, a topical steroid, is considered standard of care following cataract surgery to reduce inflammation. We aim to determine if Lotemax is at least as effective as Prednisolone. If so, these findings would demonstrate that physicians have other treatment options to consider.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or female \>18 years of age scheduled to undergo cataract surgery
* Patients with systemic diseases will be enrolled only if there are no ocular manifestations of their disease (e.g. diabetics with normal retinal exams)
* Expected visual outcome of BCVA (best corrected visual acuity)\> 20/25 postoperatively, as determined by potential visual acuity testing and review of preoperative corneal topography and OCT (optical coherence tomography).
* Ability to provide informed consent, take study medications as directed, and likely to complete all study visits

Exclusion Criteria

* Known contraindication to any study medication or any of their components
* Required use of ocular medications other than the study medications during the study
* Evidence of macular disease (Epiretinal membrane, Vitreomacular traction syndrome, macular hole) on preoperative OCT (optical coherence tomography)
* Presence of significant dry macular degeneration that may impact postoperative visual results.
* History of retinal vein occlusion or diabetic macular edema, uveitis or any macular disease predisposing them to cystoid macular edema or prolonged intraocular inflammation.
* Posterior capsule rupture, Vitreous loss during surgery or any other complication that in the surgeon's opinion, could reduce potential for targeted visual outcome
* Anticipated need for mechanical iris dilating devices
* Presence of Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy, significant dry eye, significant blepharitis, or any other corneal condition that may impact BCVA (best corrected visual acuity) postoperatively
