Using less drops for cataract surgery- Dr. Nick Bruns

Nick Bruns from Summit Eye Care in Wisconsin, discusses #dropless cataract surgery—a game-changing approach for patients undergoing cataract procedures. Traditionally, post-surgical care involves eyedrops: ✔️ Steroids ✔️ NSAIDs ✔️ Antibiotics While effective, drops often present challenges for patients, including: ❌ Complicated regimens (especially for older adults) ❌ Financial burden and pharmacy access Enter dropless cataract surgery, which simplifies care through innovative methods: 1️⃣ Compounded Drops 2️⃣Injectables:administered during surgery. 3️⃣ Intracameral Injections: Steroids, NSAIDs, or moxifloxacin delivered directly into the anterior chamber for targeted action. 4️⃣ Dexamethasone Inserts: Slowly releases steroids over 30 days via a punctal plug placed during or post-surgery. 🎯 These advancements aim to: ✔️ Reduce patient burden ✔️ Improve compliance ✔️ Maintain excellent surgical outcomes 🔍 Note: About 5% of patients may experience a steroid response, so close monitoring is essential for these individuals. 📊 The goal? Better outcomes, fewer complications, and happier patients. Everyone wins!
