[Cataract surgery and prostaglandin analogs? Yes, but under certain conditions].

Use of a prostaglandin analog in cataract surgery can cause cystoid macular edema in the pseudophakic patient, but this is a rare complication that resolves when treatment is stopped. However, in the surgical context, this type of eye drop should not be prescribed as first-line treatment and in any case it should be associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents.
