Elderly patients who undergo cataract surgery will now have the option of receiving a single injection of Dexycu immediately following surgery.

Dexycu was approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for inflammation associated with cataract surgery. Currently, post-operative treatment consists of burdensome self-administration of medicated eyedrops multiple times a day over several weeks. The new, single-injection of Dexycu would eliminate that protocol. The drug was found to be effective in reducing inflammation and proved to be as safe as a placebo.
