Summary

Endophthalmitis is a clinical diagnosis made when intraocular inflammation involving both posterior and anterior chamber; is attributable to bacterial or fungal infection. It is a serious intraocular inflammatory disorder which can be spread via endogenous or exogenous access into the eye by infecting organism. Exogenous spread usually happens post intraocular surgery or procedure (i.e. cataract, vitrectomy, glaucoma filtration surgery) while endogenous spread is associated with hematogenous spread. The occurrence of endophthalmitis accounts for serious post-operative complication which can lead to severe vision loss and even blindness. There are several studies conducted to ascertain the efficiency of intracameral antibiotic as post-operative endophthalmitis prophylaxis. However, there is limited study in human using intracameral levofloxacin to evaluate its effect.This study is designed to compare between intracameral levofloxacin and intracameral cefuroxime in terms of corneal endothelial cell count and its morphology and central corneal thickness in uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery

Conditions

  • Endophthalmitis Postoperative

Interventions

DRUG

Levofloxacin Ophthalmic

0.1ml which has 0.5 mg levofloxacin will be injected via intracameral into the anterior chamber through the side port wound using a tuberculin syringe in a 27 gauge cannula.

DRUG

Cefuroxime

The vial contains 750 mg of cefuroxime powder is diluted with 7.5 ml of Balanced Salt Solution (BSS). 1 ml of the solution will be withdrawn and added with 9 ml of BSS. Then, 0.1 ml of solution which is equivalent to 1 mg of cefuroxime will be aspirated and kept a side. The dissolution of the antibiotic is confirmed by naked eye. Then the antibiotic of 0.1 ml will be given as intracameral to patient using a tuberculin syringe in a 27 gauge cannula at side port wound at the end of surgery.
