Unexpected Intraocular Inflammation Following the Use of Anti-Adhesion Agents, Mediclore® - A Case Report

Several cases of unexpected intraocular inflammation have been reported following the use of anti-adhesion agents, including Mediclore®. However, anti-adhesion agents are now used in many surgeries because of their effectiveness in preventing postoperative adhesions. Awareness of the relationship between postoperative intraocular inflammation and anti-adhesion agents is important to avoid unnecessary evaluations. Two women experienced congestion and pain in both eyes after undergoing gynecological surgery using robotic and laparoscopic techniques under general anesthesia. They were diagnosed with anterior uveitis and episcleritis, and the cause was considered to be an anti-adhesion agent after excluding other factors and ophthalmic examinations. Here, we report two cases of intraocular inflammation after surgery and describe the clinical importance of anterior uveitis and episcleritis.
