Comparison of Subconjuctival and Intracameral dexamethasone in controlling uveitis post SICS

Sukhanya S .

To study the effectiveness of Subconjuctival

injection of Dexamethasone versus Intracameral injection of

Dexamethasone in controlling uveitis post SICS, a

prospective study was conducted for a period of twelve

months from January to December 2015.In this study 100

patients were studied. Patients who are diagnosed to have

senile uncomplicated cataract were divided into two groups.

Group A-50 patients received subconjuctival

dexamethasone0.5ml(2mg). Group B-50 patients received

intracameral dexamethasone0.1ml(0.4mg).There was 4-6

percent decrease in the incidence of anterior uveitis after

cataract surgery immediately in 1st and 3rd post-operative

days in Group B compared to Group A
