Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient Preference

    Primary outcome of patient reference of dexamethasone insert versus topical steroid as measured by adapted Comparison of Ophthalmic Medications for Tolerability (COMToL) questionnaire.

    Through Month 1 (Day 28 +/- 3 days)

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Percentage of Eyes Epithelialized at Day 3

    Post-Operative Day 3

  • Percentage of Eyes Fully Epithelialized at Day 4 Postoperative

    Postoperative Day 4

  • Mean Pain Score Per Eye (Group A: Dextenza vs. Group B: Topical Steroid)

    Day 3

  • SPEED Questionnaire Results at Baseline and Postoperative Day 28

    Pre-op Visit and Month 1 (Day 28)

  • Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity

    Month 1 and Month 3.

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Group A Dextenza

EXPERIMENTAL

Will receive Dextenza post-operative

Drug: Dextenza 0.4Mg Ophthalmic Insert

Group B Topical Prednisolone

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Will receive standard of care prednisolone acetate 1% QID for 1 week, BID for 1 week

Drug: Topical Prednisolone

Interventions

The insert, containing 0.4 mg of active pharmaceutical product, is placed within the canaliculus to provide a sustained and tapered delivery of drug to the ocular surface over 30 days after a one-time insertion. The attributes of the insert reduce the risks for improper corticosteroid tapering and unwanted peaks and troughs in drug concentration.

Group A Dextenza

Standard of care topical drop treatment

Group B Topical Prednisolone

Eligibility Criteria

  • Patients with allergy or inability to receive intracameral antibiotic.
  • Patients on systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) greater than 1,200 mg/day
