Abstract

Intracameral dexamethasone can be used as an effective alternative to intracameral triamcinolone for modulating postoperative anterior segment inflammation in pediatric cataract surgery. This pilot study compares the safety and efficacy of two drugs used in pediatric cataract surgery, despite limitations such as a small sample size and a short follow-up period.
