In their recent article, Watanabe et al1 explored relationships between corneal guttae and visual function in eyes with “mild” Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD).1 They concluded that guttae affect quality of vision (QOV), and that “early endothelial keratoplasty for patients with mild FECD without severe edema should be considered to remove corneal guttae that affect the QOV parameters.”

Over the last decade, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been used increasingly in the setting of cataract surgery. Despite overwhelming acceptance of this practice, there is a paucity of data that clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of NSAIDs in improving long-term visual outcomes. According to a survey in 2012 by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 90% of its membership routinely prescribes an NSAID in addition to, but not as a replacement for, a corticosteroid during cataract surgery at a cost of nearly $200 per brand prescription and amounting to an annual societal cost approximating $540 million.
