Patients with age-related cataract undergoing phacoemulsification under peribulbar anesthesia were randomly allocated into two groups using a computer-generated random table. Group A received single-dose subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide (20 mg\/0.5 ml) at the end of surgery; Group B received topical prednisolone 1% eyedrops in tapering doses for 1.5 months. Patients were followed up on postoperative days 1, 7, 21, and 42 for anterior chamber (AC) cells, flare, intraocular pressure (IOP), subconjunctival hemorrhage, and cystoid macular edema using optical coherence tomography (OCT). SPSS version 20.0, Chi-square, and t-tests were applied for statistical analysis.

Subconjunctival hemorrhage was significantly more in Group A (P 0.001) on days 1 and 7, which resolved in all patients by 21 days. There was no significant difference in central subfoveal thickness on OCT in both groups on day 42. All the patients had good postoperative gain in visual acuity.
