Objective To compare the effect of bromfenac sodium hydrate ophthalmic solution and fluorometholone following sub-bowmans keratomileusis (SBK) from the aspects of subjective visual perception, ophthalmic signs and intraocular pressure. Methods Fifty myopic patients (94 eyes) who underwent SBK from April to May 2013 were divided into two groups according to the different postoperative drug treatment. Patients in group A were treated with bromfenac sodium hydrate (51 eyes), and patients in group B were treated with fluorometholone (43 eyes). To compare the effects of two kinds of drugs after SBK, results of the routine examination were recorded including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refractive status, visual symptoms and signs, intraocular pressure (IOP) and Haze under Corneal Epithelium (HAZE) on pre-operational and postoperative day 1, 7, and 30. Results On the 30th day, IOP in group A and group B were (9.88±2.34) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and (11.00±2.27) mm Hg, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences at other time points. There was no statistically significant difference in UCVA, refractive status, visual symptoms and signs, and corneal epithelial staining between the two groups (on day 1, 7, and 30). Conclusion Bromfenac sodium and fluorometholone have the same effect in the control of postoperative visual acuity and ophthalmic inflammation. Bromfenac sodium has greater advantages in IOP control. Therefore, bromfenac sodium can substitute fluorometholone in resisting inflammation after SBK.
