NCT04568213 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 54

Last updated 2023-02-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Antibiotics are commonly utilized to reduce the bacterial population of the eye prior to surgery with the assumption that this reduces the risk of endophthalmitis, although it is not clear if this actually occurs. This study will investigate the use of Hypochlorous Acid, a commercially available over the counter (OTC) medication to see if this will reduce the bacterial population prior the cataract surgery.

Conditions

  • Cataract
  • Endophthalmitis

Interventions

DRUG

Hypochlorous Acid Gel 0.02%

0.02% Hypochlorous Acid Gel (OCusoft Hypochlor GEL) will be sprayed onto the closed eyelid of the surgical eye while covering the fellow eye with palm of the hand, left for 60 seconds, then wiped off with a clean gauze, tissue, or cotton ball.
