Patients of uncomplicated cataract operated at tertiary care centre, Nanded by same surgeon with Manual small incision cataract surgery (SICS) with posterior chamber intra ocular lens (PCIOL) were studied. Objective is to find out co-relation between High IOP and topical 0.05% Difluprednate use on post-operative patients. Study Design was hospital based, prospective, observational Cohort study. Patients were started on topical antibiotic plus 0.05% difluprednate combination on first post-operative day and advised q.i.d. dosing. Then patients were followed for 6 weeks their IOP was measured by Goldmann Applanation Tonometer. Total of 56 eyes of either sex were included in the study.
