Comparison of 5% Hypertonic Saline Versus 3% Hypertonic Saline in Resolution of Post-operative Corneal Edema.
Sponsor: Muhammad Aamir Latif
Summary
There is a lack of data to determine the comparative advantages of 5% hypertonic saline and 3% hypertonic saline over the other. Hence, the current study was planned to determine their comparative effectiveness by comparing the change in means of central corneal thickness in the groups receiving 3% hypertonic saline and 5% hypertonic saline eyedrops developing post-phacoemulsification corneal edema.
Official title: Effectiveness of 5% Hypertonic Saline Versus 3% Hypertonic Saline in Resolution of Corneal Edema in Post-operative Phacoemulsification Patients at the Department of Ophthalmology, Pakistan Air Force Hospital Islamabad.
