A prospective study intended to examine the effect of topical Voltaren-Ophtha 0.1% eye drops after cataract surgery on INR levels (international normalized ratio) in patients taking warfarin.
Objective: To examine the effect of topical Voltaren-Ophtha 0.1% eye drops after cataract surgery on INR levels ( international normalized ratio) in patients taking warfarin. Methods: A prospective study. The study population will include approximately 100 patients, taking warfarin and that are candidates for cataract surgery. These patients will continue their warfarin therapy as usual and at the same dose, before and after the operation.
