Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and side effects of topical Loteprendol etabonate 0.5% (Lotemax) versus Dexamethasone 0.1% (Sterodex) following strabismus surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized prospective study that will involve 100 patients (males and females) undergoing strabismus surgery. All patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of the study drugs (Loteprendol etabonate 0.5% (Lotemax) drops or Dexamethasone 0.1% (Sterodex) drops) after undergoing strabismus surgery. In addition to the study drug all patients (in both groups) will receive topical Ofloxacin 0.3% (Oflox) eye drops. All patients will undergo a complete ophthalmological evaluation before surgery including orthoptic assessment of their strabismus and measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP). Topical treatment with the study drug and topical Ofloxacin 0.3% (Oflox) eye drops will begin on the evening of the surgery, following a schedule that will be the same for both groups: 4 times daily during the first week, 3 times daily for the second group, twice daily for the third week, and as needed for the fourth week. All patients will be examined at 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after surgery by a masked investigator (not the strabismus surgeon).

The parameters to be checked will include:

1. Patient pain and discomfort

2. Conjunctival chemosis

3. Conjunctival hyperaemia

4. Conjunctival discharge

5. Conjunctival gap

6. Intraocular pressure (IOP)

7. Number of pain control medications taken ;
