Abstract

Control of postoperative inflammation is essential in corneal surgery. Frequently this control must be extended for long periods of time. The long-term use of steroids such as prednisolone or dexamethasone is therefore limited because of the risk of inducing a rise in intraocular pressure. Personal experience in almost 400 surgical procedures indicates that fluorometholone has the ability to suppress inflammation without inducing significant increases in intraocular pressure. Fluorometholone should therefore be considered as the steroid of choice for the control of postoperative inflammation.
