Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Group A Dextenza

Drug: Dextenza 0.4Mg Ophthalmic Insert
The insert, containing 0.4 mg of active pharmaceutical product, is placed within the canaliculus to provide a sustained and tapered delivery of drug to the ocular surface over 30 days after a one-time insertion. The attributes of the insert reduce the risks for improper corticosteroid tapering and unwanted peaks and troughs in drug concentration.

Active Comparator: Group B Topical Prednisolone

Drug: Topical Prednisolone
Standard of care topical drop treatment
