Ophthalmic anti-inflammatory agents

What are Ophthalmic anti-inflammatory agents?

Ophthalmic anti-inflammatory agents are products formulated to be applied in the eyes, to reduce pain or to treat inflammation. Anti-inflammatory agents act against one or more of the mediators that cause inflammation and reduce irritation and swelling in the eyes. Anti-inflammatory eye drops are used after surgery to relieve pain.

Ophthalmic anti-inflammatory medicines are used in the eye to lessen problems that can occur during or after some kinds of eye surgery. Sometimes, the pupil of the eye gets smaller during an operation. This makes it more difficult for the surgeon to reach some areas of the eye.
