IVI of steroid or steroid implants might be beneficial in controlling postoperative inflammation for uveitis cataract, especially in patients who cannot tolerate ST. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of intraoperative IVI of steroids with standard-of-care treatment as a prophylaxis for uveitis cataract. However, large-scale RCTs are warranted to compare the IVI of steroid implants and steroids.
