Genders Eligible for Study:	Both

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

· Male or female > 18 years of age scheduled to undergo cataract surgery with surgeon expectation of 20/20 BCVA postoperatively

Exclusion Criteria:

· Known contraindication to any study medication or any of their components
- Uncontrolled systemic disease
- Required use of ocular medications other than the study medications during the study
- Abnormal pre-operative OCTs if obtainable
