Brief Summary

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

To assess the safety and effectiveness of treatment with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert in the operating room following cataract surgery/intraocular lens implant (IOL) compared to insertion 1-day post-op.

Detailed Description

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

This is a randomized, controlled study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatment with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert in the operating room following cataract surgery/intraocular lens implant (IOL) compared to insertion 1-day post-op.

There will be approximately 50 eyes with two groups:

Group 1 (up to 10 eyes) will receive the insert in the lower punctum on the day of surgery in the OR.

Group 2 (up to 40 eyes) will receive the insert in the lower punctum on the day after surgery in the HOPD.

Each subject's participation is expected to last for approximately 1 month and will be required to complete five scheduled visits over the course of the study period: Baseline (Screening Visit), Operative Visit/Insertion Day (Day 0), Day 1, Day 7 and Day 30.
