Summary

In this study, the investigators are comparing dexamethasone ophthalmic insert (DEXTENZA®) to the current standard of care, prednisolone acetate 1% eye drops, in a glaucoma population receiving both cataract and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). DEXTENZA® and prednisolone acetate 1% drops are both steroids used to control inflammation after eye surgery. DEXTENZA®'s method of delivery differs by offering a sustained release of steroid that does not necessitate postoperative anti-inflammatory eye drops. The investigators hypothesize that DEXTENZA® will be as safe as prednisolone acetate 1% drops and as effective at controlling postoperative inflammation following concomitant cataract-MIGS in a glaucoma population. The investigators also hypothesize that DEXTENZA® will be preferred by patients over prednisolone acetate 1% drops.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Insert

DEXTENZA® is a 3mm long gel-like cylinder that is inserted in the punctum, a natural opening in the lower eyelid. DEXTENZA® is activated by the eye's moisture. DEXTENZA® delivers 0.4 mg dexamethasone, a liquid corticosteroid, onto the surface of the eye automatically for up to 30 days after eye surgery. Dexamethasone is used to reduce inflammation and eye pain. This arm will also receive the standard of care topical ofloxacin eye drop antibiotic regimen.

DRUG

Prednisolone Acetate 1% Oph Susp

Prednisolone acetate 1% eye drops are used 2-4 times daily for 30 days as the current standard of care for treating inflammation and eye pain after cataract surgery. Prednisolone, like dexamethasone, is a steroid. This arm will also receive the standard of care topical ofloxacin eye drop antibiotic regimen.
