What this study is
A self-controlled, prospective clinical study of the safety, clinical efficacy, and patient acceptance of subconjunctival delivery of triamcinolone 40 mg/mL (Triesence) at the conclusion of cataract surgery or topical clobetasol 0.05 (Byqlovi) BID for 14 days, with intracameral moxifloxacin 0.5%, and topical nepafenac 0.3% (Ilevro) for 14 days, as compared to traditional topical postoperative prednisolone acetate 1% QID, moxifloxacin 0.5% drops QID, and ketorolac 0.5% QID in controlling postoperative pain and inflammation in subjects undergoing sequential bilateral cataract surgery.

You can't join if
- A subject with a history of complications, adverse events, trauma or disease in the nasolacrimal area, whether or not it was due to punctal plug wear, including but not limited to dacryocystitis, inflammation or canaliculitis in either eye
- A subject with any moderate to severe lid, conjunctival or corneal findings in either eye at the screening visit
- A subject with any signs of intraocular inflammation (cells/flare) in either eye at the screening visit
- A subject with a known sensitivity to any of the study medications.
- A subject with a history as a steroid responder or glaucoma
- A subject with a known or suspected allergy or hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or to any component of the test article
- A subject with only one eye with potentially good vision
- A subject with a known pathology that may affect visual acuity (as determined by the Investigator); particularly retinal changes that affect vision (macular degeneration, cystoid macular edema, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, etc.) in their scheduled surgical eye
- A subject that has a condition associated with the fluctuation of hormones that could lead to refractive changes
- A subject with amblyopia or strabismus
- A subject has a history of ocular trauma in their scheduled surgical eye
- A subject that has undergone prior intraocular surgery in the scheduled surgical eye within the last 6 months or laser surgery within three months prior to screening
