Preventing Eye Infection After Cataract Surgery
This study is looking at whether an antibiotic called moxifloxacin, given as an injection into your eye (intracameral injection) after cataract surgery, can help prevent a serious eye infection called endophthalmitis. You would receive either moxifloxacin or a placebo (an inactive substance). The study is open to people aged 40 and older who have cataracts that affect their vision. You cannot join if you are allergic to certain antibiotics (fluoroquinolones) or vitamin B12. The main goal is to see if there's a difference in how many people get endophthalmitis after surgery. The current status of this study is unclear.
