|---|---|
| Main Objective: To show that indomethacin 0.1% eye drops are at least as effective as ketorolac 0.5% eye drops in the prevention of ocular inflammation (aqueous flare) following cataract surgery measured by laser Flare Meter 24 hours and 1 week after surgery.;Secondary Objective: Comparison of indomethacin 0.1% versus ketorolac 0.5% with regard to : * Aqueous flare 1 month and 3 months after surgery; *retinal thickness measured with OCT (Day 30 - Day 90) * Post chirurgical pain / discomfort;Primary end point(s): Efficacy Aqueous flare measured with a laser flare meter at Day 1 and Day 7 after cataract surgery (mean of at least 5 values measured in darkness, without pupil dilation, at each time of assessment). | — |
