Cataract surgery is one of the most performed surgeries worldwide, often necessitating postoperative eye drops to manage infection, inflammation, and pain. However, complex regimens, patient adherence challenges, and environmental concerns have led to growing interest in "dropless" cataract surgery, which eliminates or reduces the need for postoperative drops by delivering medications intraoperatively through injections or drug-eluting implants. This review provides an overview of dropless cataract surgery, focusing on common medications used including antibiotics, steroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and intraocular pressure medications.

Objective The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of using an intracameral phenylephrine/ketorolac infusion during cataract surgery as a single agent to prevent postoperative pain, inflammation, and other complications. Methods A prospective, single-group feasibility study was conducted in which phenylephrine/ketorolac infusion was administered during cataract surgery and no perioperative topical drops were initially prescribed. Patients underwent optical coherence tomography, corrected distance visual acuity testing, and slit lamp biomicroscopy examination at perioperative visits, during which they also reported symptoms of pain, irritation, and/or photophobia.
