No additive effect of tranexamic acid and naproxen on corneal deswelling. A study on oedema after uncomplicated intracapsular cataract extraction with anterior chamber lens implantation.
The influence of systemic antifibrinolytic and antiprostaglandin medication on post-operative central corneal thickness was studied. Thirty patients underwent uncomplicated intracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of anterior chamber lens. The patients received either tranexamic acid, naproxen or both. The post-operative oedema did not differ significantly between the three groups studied. Models for studying changes in central corneal thickness are discussed. A review of the influence of drugs on corneal thickness is presented.
