Tailored use of intracameral antibiotics significantly lowered the risk for infections after cataract surgeries in a new study.
During these periods, a total of 27,114, 68,335, and 56,598 cataract phacoemulsification procedures were performed, respectively.
The researchers also reviewed 37 studies and calculated the overall incidence rates for groups that received and those that did not receive intracameral antibiotics.A total of 36, 62, and 17 cases of endophthalmitis were reported during 1993-1999, 2000-2010, and 2016-2022, respectively. The researchers found no difference in the incidence of endophthalmitis with use of 5% povidone-iodine compared with 1% povidone-iodine with no antibiotics (The findings align with those of previously published studies showing a combined incidence of endophthalmitis of 0.000 with intracameral antibiotics and 0.0001 without.
