Abstract
Forty-nine patients were included in a controlled clinical trial comparing the effect of topical non-steroid versus potent steroid preparation in acute anterior non-granulomatous uveitis. Twenty-five patients were randomized to 1% Indometacin and 24 patients to 0.1% Dexametason treatment 6 times a day. There was no difference between the two groups initially. After 7 days of treatment we found significantly less inflammation in the steroid treated group, this significant difference disappearing on day 14. We conclude that whenever adverse reactions to corticosteroid eye drops are suspected or proven, Indometacin eye drops make up a useful alternative to even strong solutions of steroids. The study was carried out in the following practices: L. Ahrendt, L. Damgård-Jensen, P. Eldrup-Jørgensen, J. Elmeros, H. Heuer, S. Jensen, M.H. Kjeldsen, P. Nellemann Sørensen, H. Petersen, N. Vedel-Jensen.
