Purpose:
|
To evaluate whether topical diclofenac 0.1% therapy adds any extra benefit to systemic diclofenac in controlling pain after PRK.
|
|
Methods:
|
Prospective randomized double-masked clinical trial,68 individuals having bilateral PRK.All patients received 100 mg of extended-release oral diclofenac two times (12 hours interval) before PRK surgery. Post-operatively, patients were randomized into the case and control groups. Case group was administered the diclofenac 0.1% drop, one drop two hours preoperatively and four times daily postoperatively for three days whereas, control group was given artificial tears.
|
|
Results:
|
No statistically significant difference in pain level was noted between both groups.Photophobia and functional activity was not different between the case and control groups. Eyelid oedema and conjunctival injection levels were significantly higher in the control group (P<0.001).
|
|
Conclusion:
|
It can be concluded that oral diclofenac is sufficient in the management of post PRK pain and addition of the topical diclofenac is unnecessary.
