Advisory Committee. This meeting was announced in the Federal Register

developing anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of postoperative 
inflammation and reduction of ocular (eye) pain in patients who have 
undergone ocular surgery. The portion of the meeting (Topic 2), 
relating to the appropriateness of marketing a single bottle of anti-
inflammatory ophthalmic products for use in both eyes for post-surgical 
indications as it relates to the potential risk for infection will 
still be held on the same date (February 27, 2012), the time for the 
meeting has been changed to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
