Overview:
Nepafenac 0.1% w/v is a prodrug NSAID that rapidly converts to an active form in the eye, effectively reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation after cataract surgery activating in ocular tissues. A study in Br J Ophthalmol (2021) found a 70% reduction in post-operative macular edema risk.
