Aqueous Concentrations and PGE2 Inhibition of Ketorolac 0.4% vs. Bromfenac 0.09% in Cataract Patients: Trough Drug Effects

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of two different topical NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications used for pain relief) to reach the back of the eye and to stop inflammation. The study will conclude on the day of your cataract surgery.
