Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this prospective interventional study is to compare post-intravitreal injection pain between eyes receiving topical bromfenac versus artificial tears as an analgesic after intravitreal injection.

Description:

This proposed study is a double-masked randomized trial of adult patients receiving bilateral intravitreal injections. Patient data from March 2021 to June 2022 will be collected. Patient pain perception, quantified using the Wong-Baker FACES and the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire, will be utilized to compare post-intravitreal injection pain between eyes receiving pre-injection bromfenac 0.09% ophthalmic solution versus artificial tears.
