ClinConnect Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blindmasked, placebo-controlled, parallel- design, multicenter study of subjects over 40 years undergoing cataract surgery. Subjects meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet any exclusion criteria are randomiszed to the dexamethasone implant group or placebo group at a ratio of 2:1.

Subjects received a single does injection in the study eye immediately after the completion of cataract surgery. The investigational drug comes with a special injection device and injection guide.

All subjects will be administered to the study eye with quinolone top...
