Objective: Demonstrate whether the rate of elevation of intraocular pressure of prednisolone acetate 1% is greater than the rate of elevation of intraocular pressure of fluoromethalone 0.1% in post-operated pterygium patients. Material and Methods: A prospective, longitudinal, pragmatic clinical trial was carried out. The study population consisted of 120 post-operated pterygium patients according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and distributed in a simple random manner into two groups: 60 prednisolone acetate users and 60 fluoromethalone users; the relative risk and the chi square test were calculated. Results: The characteristics of the patients included an average age of 46 years, the majority being women: 56.6% (68/120). There were no significant differences regarding the variables diabetes mellitus and myopia between the patients in both study groups (p> 0.05). The incidence of ocular hypertension in post-operated pterygium patients treated with 1% prednisolone acetate topically was 19/60 = 32%; the incidence of ocular hypertension in post-operated pterygium patients treated with 0.1% fluoromethalone topically was 9/60 = 15%; The use of 1% prednisolone acetate increases the risk of developing ocular hypertension by 1.13 times more (p <0.05), compared to the use of 0.1% fluoromethalone. Conclusions: The use of 1% prednisolone acetate increases the risk of ocular hypertension in post-operated pterygium compared to the use of 0.1% fluoromethalone.
