Summary
Most patients undergoing cataract surgery suffer from corneal edema after the surgery.
Brimonidine drops are a well known and safe Anti-glaucoma medication. the investigators have
made several clinical observations that patients receiving Brimonidine drops had a faster
resolution of their corneal edema even if they had normal intra-ocular pressure.
The investigators believe that administering topical Brimonidine to patients with significant
post operative corneal edema will hasten the resolution of their corneal edema.
