Post-Surgical Ocular Pain, Post-Surgical Ocular Inflammation

Brief summary

The objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OTX-DP (dexamethasone insert) 0.4 mg for intracanalicular use when placed in the canaliculus of the eyelid for the treatment of post-surgical inflammation and pain in subjects who had undergone cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation
