Used primarily in ophthalmic formulations to treat postoperative inflammation and pain following cataract surgery. It functions as a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing prostaglandin production in ocular tissues. Its formulation allows for effective penetration into ocular tissues with once or twice-daily dosing, improving patient compliance. Also prescribed for managing ocular pain and inflammation after refractive surgeries like LASIK. Due to its strong anti-inflammatory action and favorable ocular tolerability, it is a common choice in postoperative eye care regimens.
