title: Topical indomethacin in extracapsular cataract surgery. A photographic study.
abstract: A photography-based single-blind study was conducted to evaluate the effect of topical indomethacin on the per-operative pupil of 52 consecutive patients undergoing an extracapsular cataract extraction with or without an intraocular lens. Each operation was done by the author. Per-operative miosis was significantly smaller in the group receiving indomethacin as compared with the control group (P = 0.06-0.13). A reproducible photographic method for evaluating the per-operative behavior of the pupil is described.
