Popis: We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of 0.1 % diclofenac sodium on anterior inflammation after cataract surgery. Fibrin precipitation after surgery in patients without systemic or ocular disease was markedly less when diclofenac sodium ophthalmic solution was used in combination with topical corticosteroids. There was also a reduction in fibrin precipitation in other patients, especially in those with diabetes mellitus, primary angle-closure glaucoma, and exfoliation syndrome. In conclusion, diclofenac sodium was shown to be clinically useful as a topical preparation to suppress inflammation after cataract surgery.
