Intracameral dexamethasone 9% vs prednisolone acetate 1% in controlling postoperative pain and inflammation in patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Intracameral delivery of steroid and antibiotics was preferred by most of the patients undergoing cataract surgery. These eyes had significantly less pain, inflammation, activity interference, and out-of-pocket cost and significantly better uncorrected distance visual acuity at 1 day postoperatively. IOP and macular thickness were similar between groups.
