The Effect of Depo-Medrol(R) on Fibrinous Membrane Formation after Posterior Charmber Lens Implantation

• Wee WR

Abstract

I analyzed the incidence of fibrinous membrane formation in the eyes that received extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber lens implantation. There was statistically significant difference between the incidence of fibrinous membrane formation in the eyes that received sub-Tenon's injection of Depo-Medrol(R) at the end of surgery(7.9%) and that in the eyes that did not receive it(34.8%)(p<0.025).
