LessDrops
Compounded eye drop containing Gatifloxacin (antibiotic), bromfenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory), and prednisolone acetate 1% used three times a day (TID) starting 1 day prior to surgery and continuing after surgery for 2 weeks then twice a day for a week and once a day for another week. Pred-Gati-Brom: The combination drop therapy containing prednisolone acetate 1%, gatifloxacin 0.5%, and bromfenac 0.075%
Standard of Care
* Gatifoxacin 0.5%, 1 drop, QID for 3 days prior to surgery and will continue for 2 weeks after surgery and then discontinue. * Bromfenac 0.07%: 1 drop QD starting 3 days before surgery, continue QD for 4 weeks after surgery and then discontinue. * Prednisolone acetate 1% will be started after surgery QID for 2 weeks, tapered to BID for 2 weeks, and then discontinue. Prednisolone acetate 1% ophthalmic suspension: Steroidal anti-inflammatory Gatifloxacin Ophthalmic: Antibiotic Bromfenac 0.075% Oph Solution: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
