Popis:	Topical flurbiprofen was compared with placebo and prednisolone 0.3% in the treatment of episcleritis by a randomised double-blind trial. Seventy-seven eyes were included in the trial. Rapid spontaneous improvement in symptoms and signs was noted in the majority of cases. There was no significant difference between the cure-rates of patients treated with flurbiprofen and placebo over a 3-week trial period. The proportion of patients treated with prednisolone 0.3% who were cured was significantly higher than in either of the other groups after 3 weeks.
