Abstract
Objective: To review the commercially available ophthalmic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), identify opportunities for therapeutic substitutions within and outside of their Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved indications, and identify clinically superior drugs within the class for specific indications. Data Source: A PubMed search (1992 through January 2014) was performed on the terms diclofenac, ketorolac, flurbiprofen, bromfenac, and nepafenac. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Clinical trials, meta-analyses, and review articles were evaluated if they were written in English and pertained to human subjects. Studies were excluded if they were in vitro studies, solely evaluated pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic properties, did not relate to the topical ophthalmic route, did not evaluate the FDA-approved indications of any available ophthalmic NSAID, or compared a reviewed drug with a nonreviewed drug (without placebo comparison). Data Synthesis: A total of 67 articles met the criteria for evaluation. Article quality, study design, and dosing of the medications were assessed to determine the clinical applicability of the results. The quality of the article was determined using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine Levels of Evidence 1. Conclusions: Many formulations of the 5 reviewed NSAIDs have been studied across the 4 primary indications. These indications are (1) pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery, (2) pain associated with corneal refractive surgery, (3) inhibition of intraoperative miosis, and (4) seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Several studies have directly compared drugs within this class and have identified instances in which certain selections are therapeutically superior or equivalent to another. This information provides practitioners with guidance in selecting an optimal medication.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the most significantly represented breeds that were enucleated or eviscerated due to intractable glaucoma following elective cataract surgery and to describe the major histopathologic features of enucleated globes. METHODS A retrospective review of the Comparative Ocular Pathology Laboratory of Wisconsin database revealed 153 canine evisceration or enucleation submissions that met inclusion criteria. The most commonly represented breeds were identified, and enucleated globes of these breeds were further evaluated histologically (n = 69). Following standard hematoxylin & eosin staining, globes were evaluated for the presence of; corneal pathology, goniodysgenesis, pigment dispersion, pre-iridal fibrovascular membranes (PIFVMs), peripheral anterior, and/or posterior synechiation, inflammatory infiltrates, lens pathology, retinal pathology, and/or endophthalmitis. RESULTS The most significantly represented breeds were the Cocker Spaniel (11.7%), Boston Terrier (10.5%), Labrador Retriever (6.5%), Bichon Frise (6.5%), Shih Tzu (5.8%), and Jack Russell Terrier (5.8%). Common histopathologic findings included inflammatory keratitis, the presence of PIFVMs, and lymphoplasmacytic uveal infiltrates. CONCLUSIONS The Cocker Spaniel, Boston Terrier, Labrador Retriever, Bichon Frise, Shih Tzu, and Jack Russell Terrier may be at increased risk of the development of glaucoma following elective cataract surgery. These findings have potential clinical implications.

Abstract
Recent advances in cataract surgery, such as phacoemulsification, small-incision surgery and advances in foldable intraocular lenses, have resulted in the decrease of physical trauma associated with cataract surgery. The decrease in the physical surgical trauma decreases the release of prostaglandins, which are the main players in postoperative ocular inflammation. However, postoperative inflammation continues to be a cause of patient discomfort, delayed recovery and, in some cases, suboptimal visual results. Left untreated, this inflammation might interfere with patients' rehabilitation and/or contribute to the development of other complications, such as cystoid macular oedema.NSAIDs are commercially available, in topical or systemic formulations, for the prophylaxis and treatment of ocular conditions. Topically applied NSAIDs are commonly used in the management and prevention of non-infectious ocular inflammation and cystoid macular oedema following cataract surgery. They are also used in the management of pain following refractive surgery and in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. Despite their chemical heterogeneity, all NSAIDs share the similar therapeutic property of inhibiting the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme. The appeal of using NSAIDs in the treatment of ocular inflammation hinges on the complications associated with corticosteroids, the other commonly used therapy for ophthalmic inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the clinical benefit and relative efficacy of pre-operative diclofenac and flurbiprofen drops in routine cataract surgery. METHODS Fifty-two patients undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction with lens implantation were randomised in a double-masked study to compare the efficacy of diclofenac, flurbiprofen and placebo drops in maintaining per-operative mydriasis and reducing post-operative inflammation. Balanced salt solution containing adrenaline was used in all patients. Pupil size was measured prior to the corneal section and after the completion of the operation. The degree of pain, redness, flare and cells in the anterior chamber and intraocular pressure were recorded on the day after surgery. The three groups were analysed with respect to change in pupil size, intraocular pressure and degree of inflammation. RESULTS The change in pupil size was significantly different among the three groups (p = 0.01), there being a smaller decrease in the treatment groups compared with the placebo group and in the diclofenac treatment group compared with the flurbiprofen treatment group. Significantly less post-operative redness was recorded in the diclofenac treatment group compared with the other groups (p = 0.001). No significant difference was found between the groups as regards anterior chamber cells, flare or intraocular pressure change. CONCLUSIONS Pre-operative diclofenac and flurbiprofen drops are effective in maintaining intraoperative mydriasis. Diclofenac reduces post-operative redness on day 1. These effects are of debatable clinical benefit.

Abstract
This multicenter, double-masked, randomized, parallel study compared the efficacy and safety profile of ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% ophthalmic solution with that of its vehicle in the maintenance of pupillary mydriasis during cataract surgery. A total of 176 adult patients scheduled to undergo unilateral extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior-chamber intraocular lens implantation received either ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% (n = 89) or vehicle (n = 87), starting 2 hours before surgery. One drop of study medication was instilled every 30 minutes for a total of 4 drops. No epinephrine was used in the intraoperative irrigating solution. Pupil diameter was measured with a caliper at 3 time points during surgery. To ensure participant safety, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, intraocular pressure, adverse events, and preoperative and postoperative visual acuity and refractive error were also monitored. The mean change in horizontal and vertical pupil diameter from the time of the first incision to after cortical irrigation and aspiration was significantly less with active ketorolac than with vehicle (P < or = 0.014). Consequently, mean pupil diameter after cortical irrigation and aspiration was significantly greater with ketorolac than with vehicle (P < or = 0.030). No significant between-group differences were observed in the change in pupil diameter between the end of surgery and postoperative administration of a miotic agent, safety variables, or occurrence of adverse events. In this study, ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% ophthalmic solution provided effective and well-tolerated inhibition of surgically induced miosis during cataract surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% ophthalmic solution (Acular; Allergan, Inc, Irvine, California) in the treatment of moderate to severe anterior segment inflammation developing after unilateral cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation. METHODS Only patients who exhibited moderate or greater levels of cells and flare 1 day after surgery were included in this multicenter, double-masked, randomly assigned, parallel-group study. Topical ketorolac or vehicle solution (Allergan, Inc) was administered to the treated eye four times daily, starting the day after surgery and continuing for 14 days. RESULTS Ketorolac was significantly more effective than the vehicle solution in reducing anterior chamber cells (P < or = .030) and flare (P < or = .025), conjunctival erythema (P < or = .046), ciliary flush (P < or = .006), tearing (P < or = .012), photophobia (P < or = .014), and pain (P < or = .049). Half as many patients from the ketorolac group (14/51) were discontinued from the study for lack of efficacy, compared with the vehicle group (28/51; P = .005). There was no significant difference between ketorolac and the vehicle solution in changes in visual acuity, intraocular pressure, biomicroscopic or ophthalmoscopic variables, or adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% ophthalmic solution is safe and provides substantial anti-inflammatory activity in the treatment of moderate to severe anterior segment inflammation developing after cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation.

Abstract
This randomized, patient-masked, crossover trial compared the analgesic efficacy of flurbiprofen and diclofenac in 16 patients following excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy. Patients were randomly assigned to receive one study medication after surgery on the first eye and the other medication after surgery on the second eye (approximately 30 days later). After both surgeries, patients instilled one drop of the assigned medication six times daily for the first 3 days postsurgery and one drop four times daily on postsurgery days 4 through 7. Patients assessed the intensity of postsurgical pain beginning at postsurgery hour 5 and pain relief beginning at postsurgery hour 8 and continued to do so daily thereafter. On the last day (day 7), patients rated the global efficacy of the analgesic treatment. All assessments were performed by patients using descriptor and visual ordinal scales and were recorded in diaries. Patients were queried as to the presence, severity, and duration of any adverse events. Flurbiprofen produced significantly greater reductions in pain intensity than did diclofenac at all evaluations through day 4 and significantly greater relief of pain than did diclofenac at all evaluations through day 3. Significantly more patients treated with flurbiprofen reported being pain free on days 3 and 4 (11 [69%] and 16 [100%], respectively) compared with those treated with diclofenac (3 [19%] and 9 [56%], respectively). Based on patient ratings, flurbiprofen had significantly better global analgesic activity than diclofenac. Both treatments were well tolerated. Mild and transient ocular burning after instillation was the only reported adverse event; it was reported by all patients in both study groups at approximately 50% of study visits.
