Abstract
PURPOSE:

Endothelial rejection remains a major cause of graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Topical corticosteroids are the gold standard for preventing rejection; however, protocols for corticosteroid treatment have been diverse. The aim of the present study was to examine the efficacy and safety of long-term use of corticosteroid eye drops after PKP in a randomized, clinical trial.

Abstract

To assess the effectiveness of ketorolac vs control for prevention of acute pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME). The following databases were searched: Medline (1950-June 11, 2011), The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2011), and the TRIP Database (up to 11 June 2011), using no language or other limits. Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) were included that consisted of patients with acute pseudophakic cystoid macular edema, those comparing ketorolac with control, and those having at least a minimum follow-up of 28 days.
