Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology (IJCEO) is open access, a peer-reviewed medical journal, published quarterly, online, and in print, by the Innovative Education and Scientific Research Foundation (IESRF) since 2015. To fulfil our aim of rapid dissemination of knowledge, we publish articles ‘Ahead of Print’ on acceptance. In addition, the journal allows free access (Open Access) to its content, which is likely to attract more readers and citations of articles published in IJCEO.

Abstract
Aim: To assess and compare the role of topical nepafenac (0.1%) v/s bromfenac (0.09%) in sustaining intra-operative mydriasis while doing cataract extraction.
Study Design: Prospective, randomized study.
Place and Duration of Study: Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi (Jharkhand). The duration of study was from June 2019 to February 2020.
Materials and Methods: Topical NSAIDs (nepafenac and bromfenac) and carboxymethylcellulose (control) were administered to the cataract patients before Phaco surgery. Pupillary diameters were assessed first at starting of surgery and then after completing the surgery; average values were calculated for the three groups. Study was done on 90 patients having age 40-80 years, planned for cataract surgery with PCIOL
implantation.
Results: in group A (i.e. control) reduction in pupillary diameter came out to be more statistically significant unlike in group B (nepafenac) and in group C (bromfenac) (p <0>
Conclusion: Both nepafenac (0.1%) and bromfenac (0.09%) administered a day before operation are helpful in sustaining pupil size intra-operatively but bromfenac comparatively seemed to be better than nepafenac in sustaining mydriasis during SICS/Phaco.
Keywords: Bromfenac, Cataract, Mydriasis, Nepafenac.
