Inclusion Criteria:

  • Been diagnosed with clinically significant cataract and CE/PCIOL has been planned
  • Bilateral cataract surgery with IOL has been planned
  • Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study related procedures
  • Willing and able to sign the informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy (must be ruled out in women of child-bearing age with pregnancy test)
  • Active infectious systemic disease
  • Active infectious ocular or extraocular disease
  • Obstructed nasolacrimal duct in the study eye(s)
  • Hypersensitivity to dexamethasone
  • Patients being treated with immunomodulating agents in the study eye(s)
  • History of prior ocular surgery, excluding Lasik or PRK
  • History of ocular inflammation or macular edema
  • Use of any systemic NSAIDs greater than 375 mg per day
  • Patients being treated with immunosuppressants and/or oral steroids
  • Patients with a corticosteroid implant (i.e. Ozurdex)
