Purpose: Investigating the effect of intracameral steroids at the end of phacoemulsification on corneal edema and endothelial count.~Methods: Prospective, interventional case control study. Sixty-nine eyes were randomized into 3 groups, 23 eyes each : 2groups received intracameral dexamethasone and triamcinolone (TA) respectively, while controls didn't receive any intraoperative steroids.~On the first postoperative day corneal edema in control compared to dexamethasone and TA groups respectively.~One month later, the mean increase of corneal thickness in control compared to intracameral dexamethasone and TA groups, respectively.~mean endothelial cell loss in control compared to intracameral dexamethasone and TA groups respectively.
Prospective, interventional case control study. Sixty-nine eyes were randomized into 3 groups, 23 eyes each : 2groups received intracameral dexamethasone and triamcinolone (TA) respectively, while controls didn't receive any intraoperative steroids.~Intracameral steroids at the conclusion of phacoemulsification significantly improved corneal edema and spared corneal endothelium.
