Cataract is the Opacification of the lens in the eye due to protein buildup in the ocular tissue. Postoperative topical antibiotic regimens are intended to reduce the bacterial burden during the time of the surgical incision to re-epithelialize and significantly reduce the rate endophthalmitis. As prophylaxis Intracameral antibiotic injection administered during the surgery is initiated as clinical benefits ensuring in decline of postoperative endophthalmitis rates. Therefore our study aims to investigate appropriate use of 0.5% Moxifloxacin as prophylactic agent for the endophthalmitis given in 280 patients. In our Observational study we have advised the patients to visit prior the surgery with no other use of antibiotics & the data collected in 2 follow-ups i.e. on the day of cataract surgery after Postoperative condition (followup-1) & following 1st day of Surgery (followup-2). On SLIT lamp examination of eye structures of those 280 patients we found no evidence of Endophthalmitis by using intracameral 0.5% moxifloxacin as prophylaxis after Cataract surgery.
