PurposeTo evaluate 0.1% diclofenac sodium as an adjunctive therapy with loteprednol etabonate on postoperative inflammation in the anterior chamber and on foveal and parafoveal retinal thickness.Material and methodsEighty eyes eligible for phacoemulsification were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial. Patients in group I (N = 40) received anti-inflammatory treatment consisting of 0.1% diclofenac with 0.5% loteprednol; group II (N = 40) patients received 0.5% loteprednol alone. Best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure were measured, and laser flarephotometry was done. Foveal and parafoveal thickness were assessed by optical coherence tomography. Results: Median flare values decreased more rapidly in group I at 7 and 14 days (7.9 and 7.4 ph/ms, respectively) than in group II (13.7 and 11.8 ph/ms, respectively; p < 0.0001). Group II had significantly increased parafoveal thickness at 14 and 42 days (median 285.59 μm, p = 0.001 and 288.38 μm, p < 0.001, respectively). Parafoveal thickness differed significantly between groups at 14 and 42 days (p = 0.0085, p = 0.0004, respectively).ConclusionsEyes treated with both diclofenac sodium and loteprednol etabonate showed less inflammatory response and were less likely to develop foveal and parafoveal thickening than those treated with steroid only.
