Back to Index Current Research in Ocular Antiinflammatory and Antiinfective Medications Phase IV studies of approved drugs broaden and deepen our understanding of their actions and applications. Reported in scientific paper and poster sessions at major meetings, little of this work is disseminated to clinicians. Many of these studies, however, have data and conclusions that are highly relevant to day-to-day clinical decision making. Current Research in Ocular Antiinflammatory and Antiinfective Medications has been produced as an independent Continuing Medical Education enduring material, sponsored by Alcon.
