Abstract
Purpose: To report the design of FLuorometholone as Adjunctive MEdical Therapy for TT Surgery (FLAME) Trial. Design: Parallel design, double-masked, placebo-controlled clinical trial with 1:1 randomization to fluorometholone 0.1% eyedrops twice daily or placebo twice daily for four weeks in eyes undergoing trachomatous trichiasis (TT) surgery; assessing the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of fluorometholone 0.1% in preventing recurrent postoperative trichiasis.
