The influence of systemic antifibrinolytic and antiprostaglandin medication on post‐operative central corneal thickness was studied. Thirty patients underwent uncomplicated intracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of anterior chamber lens. The patients received either tranexamic acid, naproxen or both. The post‐operative oedema did not differ significantly between the three groups studied. Models for studying changes in central corneal thickness are discussed. A review of the influence of drugs on corneal thickness is presented.
