Measurements were made of the nature and levels of plasminogen activator in human tears using, as a model of inflammation, patients undergoing cataract surgery. Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) but not urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA) was found in tears. A wide variation in the range of t-PA in pre-operative tears was found. In those patients not receiving per-operative subconjunctival betamethasone a significant rise in t-PA was found in tears on the first post-operative day over pre-operative levels. A significant fall was noted in those receiving per-operative subconjunctival betamethasone.
