AIM:To evaluate the application of diclofenac sodium eye drops in toric intraocular lens implantation.

METHODS: From January 2011 to February 2012, 38 eyes of 37 patients, who underwent toric intraocular lens implantation in this hospital, were randomly divided into diclofenac sodium eye drops group(trial group)and control group. Patient's degree of cooperation during surgery and inflammation postoperation after 1 day, 3,7, days, 1 month and 3 months were evaluated.

RESULTS: Patient's degree of cooperation during surgery in the trial group(1.53±0.62)was significantly better than in the control group(2.40±0.88, P<0.05). Inflammation reaction was gentle in the trial group 1 day postoperatively.

CONCLUSION: Diclofenac sodium eye drops used during toric intraocular lens implantation can obviously alleviate eye irritation, and increase the cooperation of patients.
