Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: The two groups were statistically similar in age and sex. The mean pre- sclerostomy pupillary diameters were 8.1 mm in both groups. The mean post- phacoemulsification diameters were 7.6 mm in those receiving diclofenac and 7.2 mm in those not (p = 0.03). The mean diameters after infusion/aspiration were 7.7 mm in those receiving diclofenac and 7.1 mm in those not (p = 0.008). The mean pupillary diameters on day 1 were 5.3 mm in those receiving diclofenac and 4.6 mm in those not (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION:
